RBRduo pressure and temperature sensors (early 2015 generation), mounted on aluminum frames, were moored in shallow (< 6 m) water depths in Bellingham Bay, Washington, to capture wave heights and periods. Continuous pressure fluctuations are transformed into surface-wave observations of wave heights, periods, and frequency spectra at 30-minute intervals.

ADCP data were collected by sensors from seven deployments within 2004-2007 on the HALE-ALOHA mooring, a location about 100 km north of Oahu, Hawaii, USA. The HALE-ALOHA mooring supports the Hawaii Ocean Time-series program. The ADCPs were one of many instruments deployed for the Multi-disciplinary Ocean Sensors for Environmental Analyses and Networks (MOSEAN) project, lead by the Ocean Physics Laboratory (OPL) of the University of California at Santa Barbara. The MOSEAN project is funded by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP). The main goal of MOSEAN is to develop and test relatively small, lightweight optical and chemical sensors for autonomous deployment. Each deployment lasted around six months. No data are available for deployment 1. Data quality is questionable for deployments 3-6 and thus are not archived at NODC. Only deployment 2 is of good quality and in the archive. The data were quality controlled by the OPL. MOSEAN SEACAT CTD data are provided in a separate NODC accession, 0115703.

Measured and derived wave parameters from data collected by a wave monitoring buoy anchored at Emu Park. For more information please refer to www.qld.gov.au/waves. Field names are; Hs - Significant wave height, an average of the highest third of the waves in a record (26.6 minute recording period). Hmax - The maximum wave height in the record. Tz - The zero upcrossing wave period. Tp - The peak energy wave period. Peak Direction - Direction (related to true north) from which the peak period waves are coming from. SST -Sea Surface Temperature as measured by a sensor embedded in the bottom of the hull of the buoy.

This data submission contains raw and near-real-time updated data from FLOATr (Fixed Location Ocean and Atmosphere Tracking) buoys and Sofar Spotter wave buoys at sites in the PacWave open-ocean testing facility operated by Oregon State University, located off the coast of Newport, Oregon. There are two sites located at PacWave, aptly named PacWave North (PWN) and PacWave South (PWS). PWN is an autonomous test site located 2 nm offshore, has a water depth of 45-55 m, and is between 44.68 & 44.70 degrees North and 124.12 & 124.15 degrees West. PWS is a grid-connected test site located 6 nm offshore, has a water depth of 65-78 m, and is between 44.55 & 44.58 degrees North and 124.21 & 124.24 degrees West. The FLOATr buoys provide meteorological measurements of wind speed and direction, air temperature and pressure, shortwave radiation (light). An onboard CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) sensor provides measurements of water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Down-looking ADCPs installed on the FLOATr buoys provide observations of water velocity. The wave buoys provide measurements of standard and directional wave statistics as well as additional metocean variables, depending on the firmware version installed. Raw data are provided in the original CSV file format, and processed data are provided in netCDF4 format. Processed data are provided in netCDF4 format based on Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) standards. Note, minimal quality control has been conducted on these data. Raw data from the FLOATr buoys are stored in CSV files with the following filenames: - ADCP.dat (subsampling of ADCP binary data - Teledyne Sentinel Workhorse 300khz) - Airmar_buffer.dat (Airmar WX200 instrument serial data buffer) - gga.dat (gps Degree & Decimal Minutes) - hdg.dat (magnetic heading, deviation, variation) - hdt.dat (heading true) - mda.dat (meteorological composite) - Met.dat (multiple data values from various sources (instruments, nmea strings) into a single data table) - best for quick data checks - mwv_r.dat (calculated mean wind velocity_relative) - mwv_t.dat (calculated mean wind velocity_true) - Ocean.dat (CTD data - Seabird SBE16, temp, conductivity/salinity, 02) - zda.dat - (time and date) Raw data from the FLOATr ADCPs and CTDs are made available in their native binary format. Raw data from the Spotter buoys is stored in CSV files with the following filenames: - BARO.csv (barometric pressure) - FLT.csv (processed buoy displacement: surge, sway, and heave) - GMN.csv (raw GPS parameters) - HDR.csv (raw buoy position) - HTU.csv (air temperature and humidity) - LOC.csv (GPS latitude and longitude) - PWR.csv (power data) - SPC.csv (buoy-derived auto- and cross-spectra * note frequency vector is missing) - SST.csv (sea surface temperature) - *.log (various log files)

Bottom-landing and floating platforms with instrumentation to measure currents, waves, water level, optical turbidity, water temperature, and conductivity were deployed at four locations in Bellingham Bay, Washington, USA. Platforms were deployed in three separate periods: July 30, 2019–November 14, 2019, November 19, 2019–February 5, 2020, and January 22, 2021–April 13, 2021. These data were collected to support studies of sediment delivery, transport, deposition, and resuspension in this Pacific Northwest estuarine embayment.

This dataset provides the bottom pressure measurements collected during the 2019-2020 SWOT prelaunch field campaign conducted around the SWOT crossover location in the California Currents, 300km west of Monterey, California, USA. The Paroscientific Digiquartz pressure sensor was used. The data are recorded on a 15-second interval.
