Summary

Meteorological data, including wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, relative humidity, and air pressure, were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center at a site located in Grizzly Bay, California. A Vaisala WXT530 meteorological station was mounted atop of a dolphin-type mooring structure, from January to June 2020. The data were truncated based on deployment and recovery times of hydrodynamic time-series data, spurious data points from the wind sensor were removed, and the file was written to netCDF. Spurious points were identified based on a recorded wind speed of 0. These points were set to NaN (Not a Number). Users are advised to assess data quality carefully, and to check [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to measure the meteorological forces that can impact local hydrodynamics and other important properties related to this study. They were collected as part of a collaborative study with the USGS California Water Science Center and the USGS Water Resource Mission Area investigating physical and biological controls on bed erodibility. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public.
