Current, wave, temperature, salinity, and turbidity data from moorings and bottom-mounted instruments in Pelekane and Kawaihae Bays, Hawaii 2010-11 to 2011-03 (NCEI Accession 0138581)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 02:39 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 07, 2015 at 12:00 AM
Spatial and temporal measurements of meteorologic, oceanographic, and sedimentological data were made during the 2010-2011 winter in Pelekane and Kawaihae Bays, on the Kohala coast of the northwest side of the Island of Hawaii. This data set consists of the oceanographic measurements at depths of 2 to 15 m made by the US Geological Survey. Bottom-mounted oceanographic instrument packages were deployed along the 5-m and 15-m isobaths, as well as a cross-shore array in the central region of Kawaihae Bay. This cross-shore array included three bottom-mounted oceanographic instrument packages on the 2-m, 5-m, and 15-m isobaths, and two moorings on the 5-m and 15-m isobaths.
