Seafloor pressure data from 2019 deployment at the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand

We include here hourly seafloor pressure time series (and locations) from a 2019 deployment at the Hikurangi subduction zone, used in "Using seafloor geodesy to detect vertical deformation at the Hikurangi subduction zone: insights from self-calibrating pressure sensors and ocean general circulation models", a paper submitted to JGR: Solid Earth in January 2022. <strong>APG_hikurangi_2019.json/.mat: </strong>Seafloor pressure time series data (JSON and MATLAB format) from a deployment at the Hikurangi subduction zone in 2019. The files contain the hourly time series in datetime (UTC) and pressure in hectopascals, with the convention that a decrease in pressure is equivalent to a reduction in the height of the water column (seafloor uplift). The only processing that has been applied to the data is filtering using a 2-day corner lowpass filter for all sites, and the A-0-A correction for the POBS sensors (which are therefore drift corrected). All APGs not equipped with A-0-A still contain sensor drift. Each time series has been adjusted using the mean of the absolute data, which is why the time series for the sites plot about zero - amplitude has been preserved. <strong>locations_APG_hikurangi_2019.csv: </strong>Locations of the seafloor pressure sites from a deployment at the Hikurangi subduction zone in 2019. Indicated for each site are the sensor’s institute (UTIG - University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, Austin, USA; GNS Science - GNS Science, New Zealand; LDEO - Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, USA; KU - Kyoto University and Tohoku University, Japan), A-0-A drift correction capability, deployment longitude, latitude, and depth, and whether there are usable data. The sensors without usable data either contained data logger issues or were not recovered, and are not included in APG_hikurangi_2019.json/.mat.
