This dataset contains hourly wind wave and water level information for various locations of the nearshore Hornsund fjord, Svalbard in 2013-2021.The '_properties' files include water levels and bulk wave parameters and are also available as relational dataset. Wave spectra are stored in the '_spectra' files. Raw files contain input pressure measurements from underwater sensors subsampled to 1024 s bursts at 1 Hz measurement frequency at hourly intervals. Furthermore, the Python code to process the data is provided.

File descriptionIn the following description, 'DepId' stands for the deployment ID (n=24). It describes the location (HBK = Hansbukta, ISBW = western Isbjørnhamna, ISBE = eastern Isbjørnhamna, RET = Rettkvalbogen, GAS = Gåshamna, VES = Veslebogen) and deployment's sequence number.++ DepId.txt:24 input files containing the raw pressure sensor measurements subsampled to 1024 s bursts at 1 Hz measurement frequency at hourly intervals. Rows represent single measurements at 1 Hz frequency (full seconds) in 1024-element bursts (hh:00:00 to hh:17:03) starting at full hours UTC.Columns:1. time ['yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss']2. burst ID3. measured pressure [dbar]++ DepID_properties.txt:24 output files with water levels and bulk wind wave parameters.
