Ocean currents data as part of Ordnance Reef Transport Study collected by ADCP from Ordnance Reef area of Oahu, Hawaii from 2010-01-17 to 2010-08-23 (NCEI Accession 0079514)

Four high-precision sensor arrays at a conventional munitions disposal site off Waianae known locally as "Ordnance Reef" and one sensor array at a deep-water chemical munitions disposal site approximately 32 miles from Honolulu were deployed. In addition to providing data needed to determine where Pacific Ocean currents might carry munitions materials in the event of a release, the sensors help NOAA and University of Hawaii scientists study how munitions might be affected by the marine environment. The data are also used in an integrated observing and prediction system that monitors ocean circulation, water quality, and biological productivity off Oahu's south shore.
