Time-series data on currents, waves, and turbidity off Santa Cruz, CA, 2014-2015 Moorings - Tripods Time series data of water surface elevation, wave height, currents, and turbidity were acquired during the winters of 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 in support of a study on the morphological change of rippled scour depressions off Santa Cruz, CA. One set of instruments (SCW) was mounted at the end of Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf during both winters. Another set of instruments (M1T) was deployed offshore in Monterey Bay each winter, the two offshore winter locations were different, but each were about 0.5 km offshore of Point Santa Cruz.
