Post-survey calculations of salinity were made from the conductivity measurements. Purpose: Data were obtained to provide baseline information and to support the development of numerical models for assessing past and future coastal hazards. These data are intended for policy makers, resource managers, science researchers, students, and the general public. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

Online_Linkage: https://www.jodc.go.jp/info/ioc_doc/UNESCO_tech/047363eb.pdf Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Conductivity was calibrated by holding the sensor in bottles with solutions of known salinity concentrations and values adjusted on the instrument accordingly. No calibration or formal accuracy tests were performed on the temperature and pressure sensors. Logical_Consistency_Report: All data fall within expected ranges. Missing data have been filled with -9999 values. Completeness_Report: Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the dataset has not been conducted. Marine point locations were measured with a hand-held, WAAS enabled Garmin 76CSx GPS unit. Horizontal accuracy is estimated to be 5 meters. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has not been conducted. Water depths associated with CTD measurements were determined from the pressure sensor and are expected to be accurate within 0.01 m.
