Wave observations from bottom-mounted pressure sensors along the West side of Whidbey Island, Washington from Dec 2018 to Jan 2020

RBRduo pressure and temperature sensors mounted on aluminum frames, were moored in shallow (4-9 m) water depths along the West side of Whidbey Island, Washington, to measure wave heights and periods. Continuous pressure fluctuations were transformed into surface-wave observations of wave heights, periods, and frequency spectra at 30-minute intervals.
