Ship Wave Measurements in German Coastal Waterways from 1998 to 2022

This dataset contains in-situ measurements of ship-generated wave heights and currents collected during 14 campaigns from 1998 to 2022 in German coastal waterways. It includes 81,092 filtered datapoints (from an initial 97,877) across 46 measurement stations in 28 cross-sections, with 23 unique locations, some of which were repeated after a certain time. Each wave event is linked to the ship and nautical parameters responsible for its generation. A more detailed metadata description for each campaign is attached to the dataset.
