Description:

Abstract:

Time-series data of water-surface elevation, wave height, water-column currents, temperature were acquired for 6 days off the north coast of the island of Kauai, Hawaii in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and groundwater input to the coral reefs of Makua.

Purpose:

The continuous measurements of waves, currents, tides, and water-column properties (temperature and salinity) from these instrument deployments, coupled with deployments of surface drifters, surface track and profiles of temperature and salinity, and near-shore measurements of resistivity, provide information on nearshore circulation groundwater input and the variability in these hydrodynamic properties over the coral reefs of Makua. These data will be used to assess the potential for terrestrial groundwater intrusion on the reef and the sources and fate of these water masses.

Native_Data_Set_Environment:

Raw data from each instrument were exported to ASCII text files using the manufacturers software (Ruskin v2.4.6.201807271154 for RBR Wave Gauges; Nortek Aquapro 1.37.04 for Nortek Aquadopp; Onset Computer HOBOWare 3.7.15 for Hobo temperature loggers) on an Apple Macintosh Personal Computer running OS10.11.6. Exported data were QA/QC’d and exported to netCDF in Matlab R2017a.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No formal attribute accuracy tests were conducted.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Data fall within expected ranges.
Completeness_Report:

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.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has either not been conducted. The stated accuracy of the GPS unit used to determine the oceanographic instrument platform locations is +/- 5m.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

No formal assessment of vertical accuracy was performed. The stated accuracy of pressure measurements for RBR wave gauges, from which wave height (or depth) is calculated, is +/- 0.02 dBar.

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

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.

Process_Date: 20180816

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Files are named with a convention that uses a 13-digit alpha-numeric code. The first three characters for this dataset are all 'KAU' for the experiment name.; the fourth and fifth positions represent the calendar year in which the first data point in the file was taken (16, 2016). The sixth, seventh and eighth is an alphanumeric code for the site name (M1T, M2T etc.). The ninth and tenth represent the instrument position on the platform, where 01 is the top-most. Next is a two or three-character code for data type (aq, Nortek Aquadopp; rbr, RBR Wave Gauge; tl, Hobo Temperature Logger). Files of wave statistics from RBRs have the suffix 'wvs-p'.
