Logan 2019 data release DOI:10.5066/P9FSG90O Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, Santa Cruz, CA U.S. Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FSG90O 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. 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.

Santa Cruz CA 95060 831-427-4747 pcmsc_data@usgs.gov 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. No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted. Data fall within expected ranges. Dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the metadata for each part of this data release carefully for additional details. A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has either not been conducted No formal assessment of vertical accuracy was performed. Data were accumulated into NetCDF files. During post-processing, data collected when instruments were out of the water, and data degraded by biological fouling, were removed from the time series. Bad data points were identified by 1) the deployment and recovery times, 2) pressure readings equal to or less than 3 cm of water, 3) amplitude or correlation values outside of predetermined quality thresholds for the velocimeter. 20190228 Files are named with a convention that uses a 13-digit alpha-numeric code. The first three characters for this dataset are all 'MKK' for the experiment name; the fourth and fifth positions represent the calendar year in which the first data point in the file was taken (18, 2018); the sixth, seventh and eighth characters are an alphanumeric code for the site name (M01, M02 etc.); the ninth and tenth characters represent the instrument position on the platform, where 01 is the top-most. Next is a two or three-character code for data type (vec – Nortek Vector; aw, Nortek AWAC Wave Gauge). In some cases, data have been post-processed to provide bulk wave statistics; in these cases, the filename will have a suffix of ‘WVS-p’. 20190228 Kurt Rosenberger U.S. Geological Survey Oceanographer mailing and physical
