    • Upward-profiling ADCP wave and current measurements from Lake Michigan near Ogden Dunes/Burns Harbor, Indiana

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is evaluating the placement of dredged material in the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan as a means to replenish sand at selected beaches. In order to elucidate the physical processes in the nearshore environment that transport and distribute sand to the beach, the USACE-Chicago District and the US Geological Survey (USGS) developed a plan for a beach nourishment study on Lake Michigan near Burns Harbor/Ogden Dunes, Indiana. In support of this effort, the USGS deployed an upward-profiling acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) to the Burns Harbor/Ogden Dunes study area to collect wave and current data. The ADCP was located at the following World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) coordinates: 41⁰37’44.90" N, -87⁰12’06.90" W. This metadata file describes the wave parameters and current data exported from the Teledyne RDI Waves software package.
