Methods & Sampling

Dataset acquisition description

Sea-Bird SBE 26plus wave/tide recorders were moored at three locations. Instruments were deployed for roughly three months at a time (I.e. battery life) over a two-year period. Deployments occurred at the offshore edge of each of the three kelp forests targeted in the study.

Data Processing Description

Dataset Processing Description

Significant wave height and dominant wave period were obtained hourly via two separate methods using the Sea-Bird data processing software.

Instruments

Sea-Bird SBE 26 Wave and Tide Recorder

Supplied Name: SBE-26plus

Supplied Description:

SBE-26plus wave and tide recorder manufactured by Sea-Bird Electronics (Bellevue, WA).

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Sea-Bird SBE 26 Wave and Tide Recorder

Acronym: SBE 26 SEAGAUGE

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0024/

Generic Description:

The Sea-Bird Electronics SBE 26 SEAGAUGE is a wave level and tide recorder with a pressure sensor, accurate clock, precision thermometer and optional SBE 4M conductivity sensor. Pressure data are integrated to give sea level or are burst recorded at rates up to 4 Hz to characterize waves. The standard pressure sensor is a 20 meter (45 psia) Quartzonix, with a temperature-compensated quartz element. Optionally, the SBE 26 can be configured with a Paroscientific Digiquartz pressure sensor with a temperature-compensated quartz element in 13 ranges, from 1 to 6800 meters (15 to 10,000 psia). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics
