JSON Format

A JSON packet is produced once every ten minutes, with a 30 minute delay, and uploaded to the Council’s data lake:

  • timestamp is in UTC

  • lat/lon are in WGS84 decimal degree format

  • height is Surface elevation above MSL in meters

  • east_velocity is Eastward surface current velocity in m/s

  • north_velocity is Northward surface current velocity in m/s

  • measurement_id is unique for every ten minute period

JSON format example:

{
 'loc_name': 'tory_loc_15',
 'timestamp': '2022-07-08T07:40:00Z', 
 'lat': -41.23,

 }

NMEA Format

One sentence type is produced. Each sentence is followed by a CR/LF. Sentences contain:

  • Current direction in degrees True North (“T”)

  • Current direction in degrees Magnetic North (“M”)

  • Current speed in knots (“N”)

NMEA format sentence example:

$VDR,126.69,T,104.19,M,00.05,N,*17

One TCP port is provided for each location, with ports ranging from 12101-12115 and the last two digits of the port number corresponding with the location ids above.
