Wave measurements in Upper Galveston Bay, TX (USA)

In support of erosion protection efforts for an aquatic confined dredged material placement area, analyses of pressure time series recorded in Upper Galveston Bay near the Houston Ship Channel provide data on: a. Wind-waves, b. Ship-wakes, c. Ship draw-down, d. Mean water-level. Time series are 2048 seconds long and sampled at 2 hertz. Approximately 34-minute records are taken every 40 minutes. The nearly continuous recording was selected to record waves from as many passing ships as possible, provide data on wind-waves and mean water-level, and allow for deployment of the internal recording gage for nearly 3 weeks
