There is one data file for each spectrum. Files are named for their data collection start times, in the form dcyymmddhhmm.ASC (crest array) or dtyymmddhhmm.ASC> (trough array), where yymmddhhmm is (2-digit) year, month, day, hour, and minute (Eastern Standard Time). Each file is about 60 kbytes in length. A file called readdelilahf contains (FORTRAN) formats for reading the ASCII files, and has a header that identifies all the file variables, units, and dimensions.
All results are based on 8192-sec (2 hr 16 min 32 sec) time series of data collected at 8 Hz. The basic analysis algorithm is the iterative maximum likelihood estimator derived and described by Pawka (1983, "Island shadows in wave directional spectra," J. Geophys. Res., 88, p. 2579), using his recommended convergence parameters, a maximum of 30 iterations, and adapted by the FRF for use with the sensor set listed above.
