Continous seabed distributed velocities, direction, and pressure, Bay of Riga, Baltic sea

The dataset includes continuous velocity, direction, and depth measurements in 9 fixed locations (3x3 grid) in the Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea. It is a space-time-aligned dataset of continuous velocity, direction, and depth measurements near Skulte, the Gulf of Riga, Baltic Sea (Eelsalu et al. 2025, Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences). All sensors measured 0.4m from the bottom of the sea.



The measurements are done using a Hall effect sensor-based velocity profiler called Hydromast (Egerer et al. 2024, IEEE sensors). The minimum velocity provided in this dataset is 0.12m/s, validated with ADV. If the velocity is under this threshold, the velocity and direction read NaN. The depth and temperature measurements are valid at all times.

    Statement

    The velocity and direction were calculated as in Egerer et al. 2024 (IEEE sensors).

    The depth was calculated using pressure sensor data. The calculation is done by removing atmospheric bias and sensor bias (with respect to sensor 1).

    More detailed information is given in the Data manual.
