Description:

Abstract:

A time-series of varying water depths were collected offshore of Wainwright, Alaska, from August 23 to October 02, 2009 (UTC). Measurements were collected with a built-in pressure transducer from a 1 MHz NortekTM AWAC acoustic Doppler current profiler mounted on a frame in approximately 10 m of water. The instrument was mounted to the frame at 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor. Reported depth values include the 0.55 m offset, and thus are depths relative to the seabed. 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.

Supplemental_Information:

Additional information about the field activities from which these data were derived is available online at: https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=TM109AR https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=TM209AR Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
