Data from: Neural network-based methods for ocean surface wave measurement using submarine distributed acoustic sensing (DAS)

The data accompanying the article present two new neural network-based methods for estimating ocean surface waves from distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) submarine cable strain rate. Models were trained using supervised machine learning on a 10-day dataset collected offshore of Oliktok Point, Alaska, in late summer. The new models were trained on target data from seafloor pressure moorings at three sites spaced evenly along 27.1 km of cable and were benchmarked against an empirical transfer function method previously used to estimate waves from DAS. This dataset contains both hourly and half-hourly DAS and mooring data used to train the neural networks described in the article. The data span 22 August 2023 to 22 September 2023, excluding the period in which DAS measurements were paused (30 August to 18 September) for repairs to the submarine fiber-optic cable. Trained model weights and normalizations are provided in PyTorch state dict format.
