This report summarizes the primary data sets collected during the DELILAH nearshore experiment held in October 1990 
at the Field Research Facility, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. 
DELILAH was designed to investigate the physics of the nearshore zone using a large array of stationary and mobile 
instruments, video cameras, radar systems, and precision surveys. This report was prepared to document and publicize the 
DELILAH data set. It complements a growing series of technical papers, reports, theses, dissertations, and other results based 
on DELILAH data. These data are available electronically on-line or via other media such as CD-ROM.
