>"A 0.9 m CoastScout wave buoy (MarineLabs) was deployed 13/08/2020 at Amphitrite Bank (48.9∘ N, 125.6∘ W) about 7 km offshore in 45 m water depth. The buoy records surface elevation at 5 Hz from a 3-D inertial measurement unit (IMU), and from differential GPS. Data are recorded in 20 min bursts every 30 min and are available in near-real time."
