(2) A WAVEOB report is identified by M iM iM jM j = MMXX. (3) The code form is divided into six sections (Sections 1 to 5 are optional): Section number Symbolic figure group Contents 0 — Data for reporting identification (type, buoy identifier, date, time, location), indication of frequency or wave number, method of calculation, type of station, water depth, significant wave height and spectral peak period, or wave length, and optional wave parameters 1 111 Sampling interval and duration (or length) of record, and description of measurement system bands –––––––––– * Included in a fixed sea station report only. ** Included in a sea station or remote platform report only.
