Atlantic Remote Sensing Land/Ocean Experiment  Project
Description ARSLOE was sponsored jointly by the Coastal
Engineering Research Center (CERC) of the US Army Corps of
Engineers and the National Ocean Survey (now Service) of NOAA;
it was conducted from 6 October to 30 November 1980 in the area
off Duck, NC, near the CERC Field Research Facility. The data
were collected using modern electronic sensors such as EM
current meters, waveriders, wave staffs and pressure gauges.
Instrument type and characteristics, position, mean sea level,
initial time, time span of the data sample and sampling period
are reported for each series of measurements. Depending on the
type of instrument used and data collected, data are reported in
eight alternate data records. These contain: 1) EM current meter
data (east and north components); 2) Baylor gauge data (water
level); 3) pressure gauge data (water pressure); 4) waverider
data (wave displacement); 5) wave direction buoy (wave
displacement, east and north wave slope componen
