Buck Island, U.S. Virgin Islands, wave and water level data, 2016
Time series data of wave height and water surface elevation were acquired for 109 days at four locations off of the north coast and four locations off the south coast of Buck Island, U.S. Virgin Islands, in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and the transformation of surface waves over the coral reefs. The relative placement of sensors on the reefs were as follows:
BUI16S1T and BUI16N1T – fore reef
BUI16S2T and BUI16N2T – outer reef flat
BUI16S3T and BUI16N3T – middle reef flat
BUI16S4T and BUI16N4T – inner reef flat
