Description:
Abstract:
Time series data of water surface elevation, wave height, and water column currents and temperature were acquired at seven locations for 86 days off of Waiakane on the south coast of the island of Molokai, Hawaii, in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and the transformation of surface waves over the coral reefs.
Purpose:
The continuous measurements of waves, currents, tides from these instrument deployments, provide information on nearshore circulation and the variability in these hydrodynamic properties over the coral reefs of Waiakane. These data will be used to study the transformation of waves over the reef and how this process contributes to the shoreward migration of coral reef-derived carbonate sediment.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Raw data from each instrument were exported to ASCII text files using the manufacturers software (Nortek Vector 1.39.09 for Nortek Vector, Nortek AWAC-AST 1.45 for AWAC current and wave gauges) on an Apple Macintosh Personal Computer running OS10.11.6. Exported data were QA/QC’d and exported to netCDF in Matlab R2017a.
