FRFxXXX_YYYY USGS Oceanographic Radar An oceanographic radar sensor was deployed during year YYYY (2022, 2023, or 2024) at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, North Carolina, at the end of the FRF research pier. The location in local FRF cross-shore (x) and alongshore (y) coordinates are x = XXX meters (200, 300, or 600) and y = 524 meters. This dataset provides 1) 5 hertz (Hz) time series data of distance measurements (in meters), relative to the radar sensor, and associated water level elevations (in meters), referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), and 2) hourly mean water level elevations (in meters), referenced to NAVD88, and wave parameters.
