README/Reference file for data associated with the manuscript 'Predicting wave-induced sediment resuspension at the perimeter of lakes,' in review at Water Resources Research Data description for: 'STWAVE_ModelOutput_NodeTables.mat' Author: Derek Roberts, UC Davis, dcroberts@ucdavis.edu November 2018 This file describes the collection and production of the data provided in the file 'SignificantWaveHeight_TD16Hz_20min_DollarPoint2017.txt' for the manuscript 'Predicting wave-induced sediment resuspension at the perimeter of lakes,' in review at Water Resources Research, herein referred to as "the main text." Data collection location: Dollar Point Nearshore Station, Lake Tahoe, USA (39.185 N, 120.093 W) Data collection contact: Derek Roberts, UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center (TERC), dcroberts@ucdavis.edu An RBR Inc. temperature-depth sensor (pressure rating 20 m) was connected firmly to the UC Davis TERC nearshore station (weighted frame on the lake bed) at approximately 2 m depth. The instrument sampled in 16Hz bursts for 17 minutes and 4 seconds (16384 samples) every 20 minutes. The instrument was deployed 3/18/17 to 4/14/17. RBR Ruskin software was used to calculate the average of the largest 1/3 of waves (herein referred to as significant wave height) during each 20 minute burst. Calculated significant wave height at a 20-minute time-step is reported in the data file associated with this README/Reference file. These data are plotted in Figure 4 in the main-text as a comparison to estimates of significant wave height using 6-second sampling at nearshore stations as described in the main text. Headers: DateTime_UTC - yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM time stamps (UTC time zone) Significant Wave Height - significant wave height in meters, as described above.
