Supporting data for the manuscript: Observations and modeling of the surface seiches of Lake Tahoe, USA

This data set was created to make the data associated with the manuscript Observations and modeling of the surface seiches of Lake Tahoe, USA, accepted for publication in Aquatic Sciences, publically available per journal convention. The publication abstract is shown below:

A rich array of spatially complex surface seiche modes exists in lakes. While the amplitude of these oscillations is often small, knowledge of their spatio-temporal characteristics is valuable for understanding when they might be of localized hydrodynamic importance. The expression and impact of these basin-scale barotropic oscillations in Lake Tahoe are evaluated using a finite-element numerical model and a distributed network of ten high-frequency nearshore monitoring stations. Model-predicted nodal distributions and periodicities are confirmed using the presence/absence of spectral power in measured pressure signals, and using coherence/phasing analysis of pressure signals from stations on common and opposing a...
