Identifier KE198OA
Alternate names K-E1-98-OA,KAELEPULU
Purpose Beach sampling
Description University of Hawaii. Chief Scientist: Chip Fletcher. Beach Sampling data (handsamplegrab, shortcore) of field activity K-E1-98-OA in Lanikai Beach, Oahu, Hawaii from 04/10/1998 to 04/10/1998
Location Hawaii
Summary Sample L1-1 - ~1 m from posts on north property side of home (rocks; no veg line), dry); Sample L1-2 - high swash / wet-dry line, damp but not water-soaked sand (likely extent of last high tide).
Info derived Beach morphology.
Comments Kaelepulu Street access at large house with columns. Trades were blowing from the ENE at 20-30 knots, with gusts to 40, and had been for several days. Some scarping present as a result. Between 4 and 7 pm (moderate tides, moderate to large fetch waves), four locations along Lanikai Beach were sampled at 2 regions of the beach face. In most cases, samples labeled #1 are the upper 5-6 cm of sand collected ~0.5 m makai of the vegetation line; #2 is the upper 4 cm of sand collected from the high swash area. The swash was a bit steeper than usual, so samples were taken rather high on it rather than at mid-swash. The main street running along the shore in Lanikai is Mokulua Drive, and the samples are named by the cross streets at each of the access paths.
