Duck94 time series
Description
Time series from pressure gages and current meters deployed along a cross-shore transect from near the shoreline to about 5 m water depth at the USACE Field Research Facility, Duck, NC in 1994.
The README describes the 2Hz time series, the file with X-Y-Z locations, and provides links to bathymetry surveys and incident wave frequency-directional data.
The Duck94 data set includes both offshore and onshore sandbar migration, incident waves from the north and the south of shore normal, and incident significant wave heights from 0.4 to 4.0 m.
