This dataset contains numerical simulation results of the wave fields in the Davis Sea from end of December 2019 to start of February 2020. Hindcasts were obtained through the third-generation spectral wave model WAVEWATCH-III (hereafter WW3). A high resolution Davis Sea regional grid (resolution 0.1 degree, 60-80E longitude, 70-60S latitude) was nested into global grid domain (resolution 0.5 degree, 80S-80N latitude). The global model is forced with 0.5 degree sea ice concentration and 10m-wind fields from ECMWF's ERA5 reanalysis. The Davis sea model is forced with 0.1 degree 10m-wind fields from ECMWF's archived forecasts, and high-resolution (3.125km) AMSR2 satellite data for sea ice concentration (Beitsch et al., 2013 updated). Ice-induced wave attenuation is parameterized following Sutherland et al. (2019, doi:10.1016/j.apor.2019.03.023) whilst the break-up of sea ice is parameterized as 'broken' or 'unbroken' based on the break-up parameter of Voermans et al.(2020, doi:10.5194/tc-14-4265-2020). The numerical simulations have been calibrated using the buoy-observations of Voermans (2022, dataset, doi:10.26179/cdmx-n995). Sensitivity of the simulations to sea ice properties was tested and all results are provided in the dataset. The data tree: * global: model outputs for the global domain - ncfield: gridded wave and ice data for this domain in netCDF-4 format - nests: binary data used by WW3 for boundary conditions for the Davis Sea grid - restarts: binary data used by WW3 for restarting this domain * davis_sea: model outputs for the Davis Sea domain - ncfield: gridded wave and ice data for this domain in netCDF-4 format - ncpoint: spectral wave data for a few points in the Davis Sea in netCDF-4 format - nctrack: spectral wave data following the wave buoys of Voermans et al (2022) in the Davis Sea in netCDF-4 format - restarts: binary data used by WW3 for restarting this domain - IHOT: binary text field of broken and unbroken ice for restarting this domain File naming convention (by example): ww3.20200101_20200103_M3D_IHOT_H0P0325_A0P01_YY9P0_SS0P1_HH0P55.nc * 20200101_20200103 identifies the datespan of the simulation in YYYYMMDD format * A0P01 refers to the attenuation coefficient of the model (where P stands for 'point'), in this case, A=0.01 * YY is the Young's Modulus timed 10^9, here, Y-9.0e9 Pa * SS is the ice strength 'sigma' times 10^6, here sigma=0.1e6 * HH is the ice thickness, here h=0.55 m * H0P0325 is proportional to the epsilon calibration coefficient (H=0.5*ice_thickness*epsilon). * M3D refers to the 3rd instantiation of the model * IHOT refers to hot start using the ice breakup field from the previous week. ww3.*_M3D_IHOT_H0P065_A0P05_YY6P0_SS0P55.nc is considered the baseline file (note, this simulation only covers the first two weeks of the study period).

This dataset contains ice motion observations made under the Australian Antarctic Program, Projects 4593 and 4506. Data was obtained using two Spotter wave buoys (Sofar Ocean Technologies), hereafter wave buoys, and two open-source ice motion loggers, hereafter ice buoys. Instruments were deployed on (land)fast ice on the eastern rim of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica (69.2 degr. S, 76.3 degr. E), on 7 December 2019. After the break-up of the ice occurring at the start of January 2020, instrumentation started to drift with the ice. Last transmission recorded was on 10 March 2020. The wave buoys measure their 3-axis motion at 2.5 Hz through GPS and have an accuracy of approximately 2 cm for the recorded significant wave height. The ice buoys measure motion in 9-degrees-of-freedom at 10Hz using a VectorNAV VN-100 IMU, with an accuracy of O(mm) for short waves and O(cm) for long waves. Both instruments also record their geographical location through GPS. Full time series of their motion is processed on board and summaries are send through Iridium. For the ice buoy wave spectra were transmitted roughly every 3 hours. The transmission interval for the wave boys was variable, ranging from every half an hour to every 3 hours. Data transmitted by the wave buoys was either integral wave properties or the complete wave spectrum. In the dataset, WB and IB are abbreviations for wave buoy and ice buoy, respectively. This dataset includes all observations transmitted during the measurement campaign (WB1, WB2, IB1, IB2). E = wave energy spectrum (m2/s); f = wave frequency (Hz); a1, a2, b1, b2 = Fourier coefficients; Hs = significant wave height (m); Tp = peak period (s); Tm01 = mean period (s); Dir_peak/mean = peak and mean wave direction and 'spr' refers to spreading; volt = battery voltage (V). Time is in UTC, and in Matlab’s datenum format (i.e. the number of days since year 0000). The geographical coordinates ‘lat’ and ‘lon’ (latitude and longitude, respectively) are in degrees. Note, as the ice buoys transmit the GPS coordinates and wave data in separate data messages, for the ice buoys ‘time’ refers to the reference time of the wave properties Hs and Tp, whereas ‘GPStime’ refers to the reference time of the geographical coordinates (lat and lon). For the wave buoy, all data is transmitted at the same time.

This dataset contains ice motion observations made under the Australian Antarctic Program, projects 4593 and 4506. Data was obtained using two open-source ice motion loggers, hereafter ice buoys. Two ice buoys were deployed on landfast ice just north of the Swain Group, Antarctica (66.2 degr. S, 110.6 degr. E), on 13 October 2020. Instruments were retrieved on 10 November 2020. The ice buoys measure motion in 9-degrees-of-freedom at 10Hz using a VectorNAV VN-100 IMU, with an accuracy of O(mm) for short waves and O(cm) for long waves. Both instruments also record their geographical location through GPS. Full time series of their motion is processed on board and summaries are send through Iridium. Wave spectra and GPS coordinates were transmitted roughly every 4 hours. The dataset comprises the raw data measured by the two ice buoys, we have referred to them as AAD_17 and AAD_18 for administrative reasons. Data output for each buoy is: A = vertical acceleration (mean subtracted) (m/s^2); P = pitch (degrees); R = roll motion (degrees); z = surface elevation (m); t = UTC time (Matlab ‘datenum’ format, i.e., days since year 0000); lat = latitude; lon = longitude. The geographical coordinates ‘lat’ and ‘lon’ are in degrees.

This dataset contains ice motion observations made under the Australian Antarctic Program, Projects 4593 and 4506. Measurements of ice motion where made on (land)fast ice on the eastern rim of the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica (69.2 degr. S, 76.3 degr. E) and on landfast ice in Gronfjorden, Svalbard (78.0 degr. N, 14.2 degr. E). Data was obtained using Spotter wave buoys (Sofar Ocean Technologies), hereafter wave buoys, and open-source ice motion loggers, hereafter ice buoys. Instrumentation was deployed on top of the sea ice with the main motivation to measure its vertical motion due to ocean waves. The wave buoys 3-axis measure motion at 2.5 Hz through GPS and have an accuracy of approximately 2 cm for the significant wave height. The ice buoys measure motion in 9-degrees-of-freedom at 10Hz using a VectorNAV VN-100 IMU, accuracy is O(mm) for short waves and O(cm) for long waves. Both instruments also record their geographical location through GPS. Full time series of their motion is processed on board and summaries are send through Iridium. For the wave buoy, this occurred at an interval of 30 minutes. For the ice buoy this occurred every 3 hours. In the dataset, WB and IB are abbreviations for wave buoy and ice buoy, respectively. This dataset covers 2-8 January 2020 for the Antarctic campaign (WB1, WB2, IB1, IB2) and 14-28 March for the Arctic campaign (IB3, IB4, IB5) and includes significant wave height, peak period and the geographical coordinates of the instrumentation. ‘Hs’ refers to significant wave height (in meters). ‘Tp’ refers to peak period (in seconds). Time is in UTC, and in Matlab’s datenum format (i.e. the number of days since year 0000). The geographical coordinates ‘lat’ and ‘lon’ (latitude and longitude, respectively) are in degrees. Note, as the ice buoys transmit the GPS coordinates and wave data in separate data messages, for the ice buoys ‘time’ refers to the reference time of the wave properties Hs and Tp, whereas ‘time_latlon’ refers to the reference time of the geographical coordinates. For the wave buoy, all data is transmitted in one message.
