Methods & Sampling

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

Sampling rate of 20 Hz (20 samples/second)
5 Senix UDMs in cross-shaped arrangement at about 8m fetch, 1 Senix UDM in the mid-tank panel about 10.3m fetch

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 177 logger files TOA5_Repair_SUSTAIN_ELEVx7_20Hz.ELEV_*.dat and TOA5_SUSTAIN_ELEVx7_20Hz.ELEV_*.dat were bundled in their original logger format and attached to this dataset in the "Data Files" section.
* 177 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).
