Dataset in support of "Laboratory wave and stress measurements quantify the aerodynamic sheltering in extreme winds" by Tan et al. (2023, JGR: Oceans)

Data introduction:

    There are three datasets used in this research: dataset 1 from Wind-Only (WO) experiment, dataset 2 from JONSWAP experiment with 10-cm significant wave height (J10), and dataset 3 from monochromatic wave experiment with 7.5-cm amplitude (M7.5).

    Each dataset contains quality-controlled data of the respective experiment mentioned above. The data files are in the mat (MATLAB) format. There are 9 mat files in each dataset, and each file represents data collected under a specific wind forcing condition, with the fan frequency in the 10-50 Hz range with 5 Hz interval.

    Each file contains four variables: seg (water elevation time series collected by the wave-wire with the units of m, demeaned and detrended), U (along-tank, downwind component of wind sampled by the IRGASON anemometer with the units of m/s), V (cross-tank component of wind sampled by the IRGASON anemometer with the units of m/s), and W (vertical component of wind collected by the IRGASON anemometer with the units of m/s). All four variables were collected at a sampling frequency of 20 Hz.
