Abstract

The compressed (.zip) file contains Datawell MK-III Directional Waverider binary and unpacked data files as well as a description of the data and manuals for the instrumentation. The data files are contained in the two directories within the zip file, "Apr_July_2012" and "Jun_Sept_2013". Time series and summary data were recorded in the buoy to binary files with extensions '.RDT' and '.SDT', respectively. These are located in the subdirectories 'Data_Raw' in each of the top-level deployment directories. '.RDT' files contain 3 days of time series (at 1.28 Hz) in 30 minute "bursts". Each '.SDT' file contains summary statistics for the month indicated computed at half-hour intervals for each burst. Each deployment directory also contains a description (in 'File.list') of the Datawell binary data files, and a figure ('Hs_vs_yearday') showing the significant wave height associated with each .RDT file (decoded from the filename). The corresponding unpacked Matlab .mat files are contained in the subdirectories 'Data_Mat'. These files have the extension '.mat' but use the root filename of the source .RDT and .SDT files.

Raw Data from 2014-2015 TRIAXYS Buoy at Pacific Marine Energy Center - South Energy Test Site, OR

Dataset Pittman, Randall

From November 2014 through December 2015 a TRIAXYS wave buoy was deployed in the Pacific Marine Energy Center - South Energy Test Site. This submission includes all the preprocessed data extracted from the binary TRIAXYS recordings. There was no data for February, March, or April, as the buoy was offline for that duration.
Raw Data from 2013 TRIAXYS Buoy at Pacific Marine Energy Center - North Energy Test Site, OR

Dataset Pittman, Randall

From July 29 through October 4, 2013 a TRIAXYS wave buoy was deployed in the Pacific Marine Energy Center - North Energy Test Site. This submission includes all the preprocessed data extracted from the binary TRIAXYS recordings, as well as scripts to parse the data into MATLAB.
Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) data from the University of New Hampshire Atlantic Marine Energy Center (UNH-AMEC ) Tidal Energy Test Site during a Perigean Spring Tide

Dataset Bichanich, Mason ; Wosnik, Martin

The ADV measurements contained in this submission were taken on the floating turbine deployment platform (TDP) located at the Memorial Bridge in Portsmouth, NH. The measurements were conducted 11/4/2021-11/9/2021 with the fastest currents occurring on 11/7/2021. Along with the submission of ADV data, a .ppt and text document further explaining the ADV deployment location is included.
National Marine Renewable Energy Center Upgrades - LUPA

Dataset Robertson, Bryson ; Bosma, Bret ; Beringer, Courtney

The data provided is part of a power take off damping optimization study. The power take off damping coefficient was swept from 0 to approximately 7000 N/m/s during a single regular wave test with a real time control of the motor/generator. The generated power from the LUPA (Lab Upgrade Point Absorber) wave energy converter is reported by the motor drive in watts. The csv files in this submission are the corresponding raw time series outputs for each mode of operation of LUPA (one body heave only, two body heave only, and two body six degrees of freedom).
