Abstract
The information provided by the Hydrographic Institute (IH) is the result of real-time processing of the 10-minute records: significant height, maximum height, average period, maximum period, peak direction and the surface water temperature. The query is made through a map, where the user selects the station he wants, and accesses the last available information.
The query can also be made through graphs where the user can select, either as to the parameters to be consulted (height, period, direction and temperature), or as to the observation periods (ranging from the last 24 hours, up to the total set of comments).
The information provided on the map is corrected for the adopted legal time. In all other products (tables and graphs), the information is referred to the UTC time zone (coordinated universal time).
