USACE sponsored a Coastal Ocean Data Systems (CODS) National Coastal Wave Climate (NCWC) work unit that developed an in-house USACE measurement archive (called the USACE QCC measurement archive). Of note is that integral wave data are imported directly from the MEDS data sources, and are not corrected for calculation errors that occurred during MEDS processing from spectral wave data. The self-described, USACE QCC measurement archive data is stored in netCDF format alongside the USACE Coastal and Hydraulic Laboratory (CHL) Thredds Wave Information Study (WIS) long-term hindcast, accessible to both the USACE and the public." ;
