#' Example wave records
#'
#' A dataset containing pressure records and derived sea surface height  
#' from a bottom-mounted pressure transducer data logger deployed at 
#' Marguerite Reef near Los Angeles, CA, USA. The device was deployed at 
#' a depth of approximately 10 meters, and sea level air pressure was 
#' 1014 mbar at the time of deployment. The pressure data logger was 
#' mounted approximately 10 cm above the benthos. Sampling rate was 4 Hz, 
#' so the total record represents 30 minutes of time. 
#' 
#' @format A data frame with 7200 rows and 4 variables:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{DateTime}{Date and time, with fractional seconds. UTC time zone.}
#'   \item{absPressure.mbar}{Absolute pressure recorded by the data logger, in 
#'   units of millibar (1 mbar = 100 Pascal). This value includes pressure
#'   due to the atmosphere above the sea surface, which was 1014 mbar during the
#'   deployment.}
#'   \item{swPressure.mbar}{Pressure produced by the column of seawater 
#'   above the data logger. 
#'   The pressure due to the atmosphere above the sea surface has been subtracted
#'   off of the absolute pressure value absPressure.mbar to produce this value. 
#'   Units of mbar.}
#'   \item{swDepth.m}{Estimated depth in meters of the seawater column above the
#'   pressure data logger, converted from the swPressure.mbar value.}
