Laboratory measurements of wind, waves, and turbulence in hurricane conditions in the ASIST wind-wave facility

<p>Laboratory measurements of wind, waves, and turbulence in hurricane conditions, collected in September and October of 2018 and January of 2019 in the ASIST wind-wave facility, in the SUSTAIN laboratory at the University of Miami.</p> <p>This dataset includes two experiments, one with fresh water (&quot;fresh&quot;) and another with seawater (&quot;salt&quot;), each in 10-m winds from 0 to approximately 42&nbsp;m/s. Data include:</p> <ul> <li>3-dimensional wind velocity at 20 Hz sampling frequency from Campbell Scientific IRGASON sonic anemometer (collected in 2018)</li> <li>2-dimensional (along-tank and vertical) wind velocity at 1000 Hz sampling frequency from TSI IFA-300 hot film anemometer (collected in 2018)</li> <li>1-dimensional (along-tank) wind velocity at 10 Hz sampling frequency from a pitot anemometer (collected in 2018 and 2019)</li> <li>3-dimensional water velocity in the bottom 5 cm of the tank at 100 Hz sampling velocity from Nortek Vectrino velocimeter. (collected in 2018)</li> <li>Water elevation at 20 Hz sampling frequency at 6 locations in the tank from Senix Toughsonic 30 ultrasonic distance meters (collected in 2019)</li> <li>Along-tank static air pressure difference at 10 Hz sampling frequency from Baratron MKS 226 differential pressure transducer (collected in 2019)</li> </ul> <p>All data is in NetCDF4 format.</p> <p>Experiment set up and positions of instruments are documented in more detail in Curcic and Haus (2020), Revised estimates of ocean surface drag in strong winds, <em>Geophysical Research Letters</em>,&nbsp;<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020GL087647">https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2020GL087647</a>.</p> <p>Produced as part of the National Science Foundation Award #1745384, titled &quot;Air-Sea Momentum Transfer in Extreme Wind Conditions&quot;<strong>.</strong></p> <p>Contact: Milan Curcic &lt;mcurcic@miami.edu&gt;</p>
