PVLAB: Remotely Sensed Surface Currents from Field Experiments (2013, 2018, 2021, 2022)

This archive contains 2-min mean remotely sensed surface currents generated using optical imagery and PIV (Dooley et al., 2024) from field experiments (2013, 2018, 2021, 2022) occurring at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, in Duck, NC. The README.txt file contains information regarding variables found in the MATLAB (PVLAB_PIV_SurfaceFlows.mat) file, including estimate locations, units, and timestamps. Estimates were generated at times with appropriate conditions for remote sensing (e.g., sufficient foam tracer) that were within 1-day of measured bathymetry at the field site. Additional data for the field site (obtained by the USACE Field Research Facility or by NOAA) including the measured bathymetry and wave conditions can be found at: https://chlthredds.erdc.dren.mil/thredds/catalog/frf/catalog.html Remote sensing estimates are not perfect and errors in filtering out bad data are possible. Please reach out to Ciara Dooley at [e-mail], Steve Elgar at [e-mail], and Britt Raubenheimer at [e-mail] if you have any questions. Additionally, the optical imagery (large dataset, many TBs) used to generate flow estimates can be accessed by contacting the authors.
