Kwajalein Island, Marshall Islands, wave and water level data, 2013-2015 Moorings - Tripods Time series data of water surface elevation and wave height were acquired at ten locations for 518 days (in three separate deployments) off the south coast of Kwajalein Island, Marshall Islands, in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and the transformation of surface waves over the coral reefs.
