Description:
Abstract:
A time-series of binned current-velocities and recorded ping amplitudes were collected offshore Wainwright, Alaska, from August 24 to October 02, 2009 (UTC). Measurements were collected using a 1 MHz NortekTM AWAC acoustic Doppler current profiler mounted on a frame in approximately 10 m of water. The profiler was mounted on the frame 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor, and collected data in 8 vertical bins, centered at 1.95(bin1), 2.95, 3.95, 4.95, 5.95, 6.95, 7.95, and 8.95(bin8) meters above the seabed, measuring over 8.53-minute bursts at 2 Hz. These data are available in a single csv file.
Purpose:
Data were obtained to provide baseline information and to support the development of numerical models for assessing past and future coastal hazards. These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.
