In situ wind wave and water level measurements in Hornsund, Svalbard in 2013-2021

These data contain hourly wind wave and water level information for various locations of the nearshore Hornsund fjord, Svalbard in 2013-2021. The datasets describe 24 deployments and include water levels and bulk wave parameters. The bulk parameters - significant wave height, mean absolute wave period, mean absolute zero-crossing period and energy period - were calculated for two maximal frequencies: observational and modelled, the latter including an infinite high-frequency tail. A further dataset is provided containing files with wave spectra, input pressure measurements from underwater sensors subsampled to 1024 s bursts at 1 Hz measurement frequency at hourly intervals, and the Python code to process the data.

The study was funded by National Science Centre SONATINA-5 grant no. UMO-2021/40/C/ST10/00146 (2021-2024).

Project
  • Project title: Wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund fjord, Svalbard  Project ID: UMO-2021/40/C/ST10/00146  Project description: This study focuses on modelling wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund, a ~300 km2 fjord of SW Spitsbergen, Svalbard, through 1) a fjord-scale modelling of wind wave transformation that incorporates the role of sea ice in wave attenuation, and 2) a beach-scale empirical modelling of water level maxima. The overall goal is to understand how changing climate, namely sea ice decline and increasing storminess, impacts Arctic shores, and to predict shoreline water levels at present and in future.  Project homepage: https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/en/index.php?projekt_id=509796  Project financing institution: National Science Centre, Poland
