Dataset description

This dataset contains in-situ measurements of ship-generated wave heights and currents collected during 14 campaigns from 1998 to 2022 in German coastal waterways. It includes 81,092 filtered datapoints (from an initial 97,877) across 46 measurement stations in 28 cross-sections, with 23 unique locations, some of which were repeated after a certain time. Each wave event is linked to the ship and nautical parameters responsible for its generation. A more detailed metadata description for each campaign is attached to the dataset.

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
