  4. Air temperature (Celsius) Sea surface temperature (Celsius) Dewpoint temperature taken at the same height as the air temperature measurement. Sea level pressure (hPa) Wind speed (m/s) Wind direction Peak 5 or 8 second gust speed (m/s) Significant wave height (meters) Average wave period (seconds) Dominant wave period (seconds) Mean wave direction corresponding to energy of the dominant period (DOMPD).
