CDIP has a new paper out describing recent advances in wave monitoring, including IT infrastructure, QA/QC, wave model visualization/validation and data products. Read the full paper at: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Winter Storm Finn generated waves that approached historic readings at some CDIP stations, with reports of erosion and damaging inundation in locations like Long Island and Narraganset, caused by storm surge and high tides.

A series of large wave events were recorded at CDIP stations along the WC as a result of storm activity in the Pacific. The pulse that arrived on 12/28 came close to historic records at some stations, and compounded by high tides, caused coastal flooding and erosion.

CDIP stations along the east coast measured historically large and powerful waves earlier this week, caused by an intense extratropical storm. Coastal inundation and erosion was widespread. This bulletin summarizes the complete data set available at cdip.ucsd.edu.

CDIP stations in HI and CA recorded elevated swell last week, created by a strong extratropical storm system. The Hs exceeded the NOAA GFS WW3 forecast by several meters. With El Nino, more strong storm activity is expected. Credit to PacIOOS who maintain the HI stations.

TS Ophelia generated waves along the mid-Atlantic, which contributed to coastal flooding and infrastructure damage. Credit to our partners in the region, including USACE FRF, CSI at ECU, CORMP at UNC-W, NSWC Carderock, and @SECOORA.

CDIP stations measured historic waves from Idalia in FL, peaking at ~9 m (30 ft) off St Petersburg. Waves >4 m Hs were measured at stations along NC.

Wave heights are now increasing for the west FL CDIP buoys. Buoy 226 (NDBC 42097) in Pulley Ridge, FL is recording wave height as 19.13 ft and climbing. #HurricaneIdalia #Florida

How will #Hilary impact San Diego? It will likely be a major rain and wind event for the region, but the path of the storm's center is expected to remain too far east for its major waves to impact the Southern California Bight, according to CDIP Buoys data. #CAwx

And with that, Hilary is now a hurricane. Note: the track forecast was not updated with this advisory. Curious on how to interpret this product? Check out this video from the National Hurricane Center: youtu.be/04QRN5gUe08

Organized by Coastal Defenders, students from the EarthEcho Int'l International ResilienSea Program toured the CDIP lab yesterday. The students learned about waves and the technology used to measure them.

🌊Ocean heat waves are impacting Florida’s coastlines, but the deeper coastal waters monitored by @CDIPbuoys are also feeling the heat. Recent sea surface temperatures (SST) are well above average in most locations, showing a consistently warm regional trend. 🌡️ #FloridaHeatWave

Yesterday, CDIP 255 Trinity Shoal, LA was cleaned and inspected. This station provides valuable data for the Louisiana coast.
