Radar Time Series Measurements Collected at Duck, North Carolina – Beginning of Pier (x = 200 meters)

An oceanographic radar sensor was deployed from January 18 to April 23, 2024, at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Field Research Facility (FRF) in Duck, North Carolina, towards the beginning of the FRF research pier. The location in local FRF cross-shore (x) and alongshore (y) coordinates is x = 200 meters (m) and y = 524 m. This dataset provides 1) 5 hertz (Hz) time series data of distance measurements (in meters), relative to the radar sensor, and associated water level elevations (in meters), referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88), and 2) hourly mean water level elevations (in meters), referenced to NAVD88, and wave parameters.
