Raw current-velocity data, post-Hurricane Ian, from Dollar Bay and Naples Bay, southwest Florida (2023)

The data set presents the raw current-velocity data collected over two-week periods in Dollar Bay and Naples Bay, southwest Florida, during the Fall 2023 using a Nortek 2000-kHz Aquadopp High Resolution (HR) profiler. The instruments were deployed in an upward-looking configuration with a cell size of 50 mm and a blanking distance of 104 mm. Measurements were collected in bursts of 4,800 samples at a sampling frequency of 8 Hz, with bursts initiated at 30-minute intervals. The current-velocity data files are in MATLAB format. The file name indicates the sampling site. The "rawdat.mat" files contain velocity, amplitude, and correlation data. The "sensordat.mat" files contain time variables, pressure, and other parameters measured by the Aquadopp device. The dta set was generated as part of the project called RAPID: Evolution of critical shear stress in the seabed of an urbanized estuary and natural estuary after the passage of Hurricane Ian. Funding was provided through NSF award OCE23-06741.
