This is a WMS viewing service published by SMHI, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, displaying oceanographic stations that measure wave height around Sweden. It shows all stations that have ever delivered data for this parameter, with measurements collected from ships (FerryBox systems) or sea buoys. The service is intended for map-based visualization of station locations and their wave-height observation history, and is freely accessible without authentication.Visningstjänsten är en WMS-tjänst som visar oceanografiska stationer som mäter våghöjd. Tjänsten visar alla stationer som någonsin levererat data för denna parametrar. Insamlade från fartyg (FERRYBOX) eller havsbojar.
