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.

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'.
