Water depth at 3 locations in an equilateral triangular array in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018

Abstract:

Water depth at 3 locations in an equilateral triangular array in the SUSTAIN tank at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Key Biscayne, FL in 2018.

Expand/Collapse All

Methods & Sampling

SUSTAIN = SUrge STructure Atmosphere INteraction (SUSTAIN) Laboratory / SUSTAIN Wind-Wave Tank

Sampling rate of 20 Hz (20 samples/second)
3 OSS wave wires in equilateral triangular arrangement at about 10m fetch, Wave wire 4 was unused.

Data Processing Description

Raw data was provided without any modifications. No data processing; data were logged by Campbell Scientific logger and accessed via Campbell Scientific LoggerNet software.

BCO-DMO data manager processing notes:
* The 120 logger files TOA5_OSSwavex4.elev_*.dat were bundled in their original logger format and attached to this dataset in the "Data Files" section.
* 120 logger files imported into the BCO-DMO data system and combined into one data table for this dataset.
* In main data table, TIMESTAMP column converted to ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.ffZ with time zone UTC.
* column added "source_file_name" added to main data table so it is clear which logger file each set of rows came from.
* Parentheses in column names removed to meet BCO-DMO naming convention (See https://www.bco-dmo.org/page/bco-dmo-data-processing-conventions).

Instruments

Water Level Sensor

Supplied Name: Wave Staff III

Supplied Description:

Manufacturer: Ocean Sensor Systems

Type(s): Wave Staff III (OSSI-010-008)

Calibrations:
Wave wires must be tensed by hand so they are tight; measurements were calibrated by deploying the wave wires in SUSTAIN and checking recorded depth across all sensors and testing with waves to ensure a return in the value to a resting value.

Specifications:
Programmable up to 30 Hz sampling rate
Input Voltage 5.5-40 VDC
Accuracy +/- 0.25% over 20-80% of Full Scale*
+/- 1.00% over 0-100% of Full Scale
Resolution 0.025% of Full Scale
Typical Cable Tension 50 Newtons (0-500 N max)

*For our wave wires, Full Scale is 2.0 meters.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Water Level Sensor

Generic Description:

For measuring water level in fresh and salt water including tanks, wells, rivers, and the ocean.

Parameters

Date and time formats are described in python strftime() syntax.
