Offshore Wave Gauge Data from Hopkins Marine Station: Measurements from 01 August 1997 through 31 December 2009.
For each measurement interval, the maximum offshore significant wave height (the average height of the highest one-third of waves, an index of the ""waviness"" of the ocean) was determined. A bottom-mounted wave gauge (SeaBird SBE26; Sea-Bird Electronics, Bellevue, Washington, USA) was installed at a depth of -10 m, 50 m offshore of the transects, and measurements of significant wave height were recorded four times daily during the deployment of dynamometers. These measurements allowed for the construction of a nonlinear regression of maximum force as a function of significant wave height (Helmuth and Denny 2003). The value of this regression for an off-shore significant wave height of 2 m (representative of moderate wave conditions) was used as our index of wave exposure.
