Use of such spatially-distributed field observations or site-scale hydrodynamic simulations will be needed for producing accurate predictions of tidal energy production over larger arrays of tidal turbines. \n\nThe data contained in this archive includes field observations of water velocity from a series of short surveys in Agate Pass taken on August 20th, 2020 using  station-keeping ADCP (acoustic doppler current profiler) measurements, drifting downward-looking ADCPs, and microFloats, gathered by researchers at APL-UW under a previous project. It also includes high-resolution hydrodynamic model runs for the site during that time generated under TEAMER RFTS 4 (request for technical support) support. \n\nAn explanatory file (.pdf format) describes the survey and field data structure. Processed data is stored in .mat format.\n\nSurvey summary: start time, number of floats, water level.\n\nmicroFloat data: \n- Cleaned data for each float in survey, \n- Time series of position (lat., lon.), depth (relative to surface), and horizontal velocity (u, v)\n\nDrifting ADCP data:\n- Cleaned data for each drifting ADCP in survey\n- Time series of position (lat., lon.), sample depth (relative to surface), and observed water velocity (u,v,w)\n\nStationary ADCP data:\n- Cleaned data for each station-keeping data set in survey\n- Time series of position (lat., lon.), sample depth (relative to surface), and observed water velocity (u,v,w)\n\nFVCOM (Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model) model outputs:\t\nWater level and velocity, as well as derived variables (e.g., power density) from the final refined model simulations for the Agate Pass subdomain. Contained in NetCDF and ASCII files for the duration of August 18th and 20th 2020 field surveys. \n\nAdditional scripts for processing the data and generating the figures in the report are included.
