Hi guys I have an small question here. At the NDBC website they have at most of the buoys the steepness of the sea at that time and date: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46012
However this stations collect all the wave spectrum data and direction of it, so I suppose they use the cut frequency and then from then they decide how step is the sea at that moment at that place. At other places they don't get all the data, being more specific on the device: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46214 they only have the dominant wave period and the wave height at the files: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_history.php?station=46214
The data in the file looks like this:
#YY MM DD hh mm WDIR WSPD GST WVHT DPD APD MWD PRES ATMP WTMP DEWP VIS TIDE

2017 01 01 01 22 999 99.0 99.0 3.18 11.11 9.24 329 9999.0 999.0 12.2 999.0 99.0 99.00
2017 01 01 01 52 999 99.0 99.0 3.29 11.11 9.54 314 9999.0 999.0 12.1 999.0 99.0 99.00
Then using only that data how I can obtain the sea steepness?.
