Non-directional wave data collected to provide baseline measurements for nearshore Hawaiian water circulation studies, June - September 2003 (NCEI Accession 0012788)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 01:35 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 19, 2007 at 12:00 AM
The US Geological Survey (USGS) Western Region Coastal and Marine Geology Team deployed National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, New Zealand (NIWA) Dobie-A non-directional wave gauges in 5 near-shore areas of western Maui during summer 2003 in depths less than 11 m. It also provides tidal heights, although they are not linked to a shore-based datum. Finalized data are provided in ASCII format.
