Description:

Abstract:

Time series wave data were collected offshore of 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 instrument was mounted to the frame at 0.55 m off the bottom of the seafloor, and collected data in 8.53-minute bursts at 2 Hz. Significant wave heights (Hs), maximum significant wave heights (Hmax), peak and mean wave periods (Tp and Tm, respectively), and peak and mean wave directions (Dp and Dm respectively) are available in a csv file. Spectral wave data are available as a NetCDF 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.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Data were post-processed using MATLAB, Nortek Quickwave, Nortek AWAC-AST, and Nortek STORM on a PC equipped with Windows 7 and 10 operating systems.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Directional wave data were calibrated to account for the magnetic declination (17.05 degrees) so that all reported values are relative to true north. The manufacturer’s stated accuracy for the NortekTM AWAC profiler is within 2 degrees for directions and approximately 1 percent of measured values for wave heights and periods.

Logical_Consistency_Report: All data fall within expected ranges.
Completeness_Report:

Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted.
