Finalized data are provided in ASCII foramt. Purpose: To collect research-grade scientific data to provide baseline measurements and for nearshore circulation studies.

The Dobie was used in Time Series mode and thus recorded a time series of pressure, which was converted to water depth assuming a water density and atmospheric pressure. Significant wave height (Hs) and dominant wave period (Td) were computed from these 512 s time series of water depth at 2 Hz using the US Army Corps of Engineers (1989) SUPERDUCK spectral method. The high-frequency and low-frequency cut-offs were 0.04 Hz / 25 s and 0.25 Hz / 4 s, respectively.

Described as the "average height of the one third highest waves in the record". The US Army Corps of Engineers, Shore Protection Manual, 3-11, states that a useful estimate of significant wave height in deep water is defined as: Hs~4*sigma, where sigma is the standard deviation of the wave record. Statistically, the maximum wave height in the record is Hmax ~ 9*Hs/5. * Tp - Peak period, in seconds; inverse of the frequency with the highest energy in the reported spectrum.
