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: December 05, 2006 at 12:00 AM
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Region Coastal and Marine Geology Team deployed six NIWA Dobie-A non-directional wave gauges at five nearshore stations south of Molokai, Hawaii in depths from 4 to 13 meters during February 2001 - February 2002. The USGS team collected hourly significant wave height and dominant wave period data with the gauges and they provided the data in an ASCII format.
