Summary

This data set contains time series coastal ocean wave and current data
collected during the Atlantic Remote Sensing Land/Ocean Experiment
(ARSLOE). ARSLOE was sponsored jointly by the Coastal Engineering
Research Center (CERC) of the US Army Corps of Engineers and the
National Ocean Survey (now Service) of NOAA; it was conducted from 6
October to 30 ... November 1980 in the area off Duck, NC, near the CERC
Field Research Facility. The data were collected using modern electronic
sensors such as EM current meters, waveriders, wave staffs and pressure
gauges.

Each series of measurements may include instrument type and
characteristics, position, mean sea level, initial time, time span of
the data sample and sampling period. Depending on the type of instrument
used and data collected, data are reported in eight alternate data
records. These contain: 1) EM current meter data (east and north
components); 2) Baylor gauge data (water level); 3) pressure gauge data
(water pressure); 4) waverider data (wave displacement); 5) wave
direction buoy (wave displacement, east and north wave slope
components); 6) wave spectra (co- and quadspectra); 7) wave data
(angular Fourier coefficients); and 8) three-axis current meter data
(east and north components). A text record is available for providing
additional documentation.
