Field data collection was conducted for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pacific Ocean, Honolulu (POH), during August 9 - September 14, 2005, off Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii. Wave and current Data were collected at five fixed locations using bottom-mounted RD Instruments Workhorse, 1.2 MHz, ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers) and Sontek Hydra ADVs (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters). The ADCPs include wave measurements.

Field data collection was conducted for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pacific Ocean, Honolulu (POH), during 23-29 August 2007, in the vicinity of the Natatorium, a World War I memorial in Kapiolani Park, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii. Three bottom mounted instruments were deployed to measure waves and currents. A Nortek AWAC (1 MHz) acoustic current profiler was placed seaward of the reef, centered off the Natatorium, in about 5m depth. An RD Instruments ADCP (1.2 MHz) current profiler was mounted on the channel bottom near the entrance, in about 3m depth. The third unit was a Nortek Aquadopp current profiler (2 MHz) was placed in a small hole in the reef, about 35m seaward of the Natatorium pool outer wall in a nominal depth of 1.5m. The first two gauges recorded directional waves and current profiles, the Aquadopp only recorded current profiles. Four inexpensive current drogues (drifters) were designed and built at the CHL Field Research Facility (FRF) that used GPS tracking and radio telemetry for positioning.

This dataset includes the Wave Energy Data Update for June 1995 - July 1995, from Coastal Data Information Program, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California at San Diego. Contact Ms. Julie Thomas for more information. The data were collected at MAKAPUU, OAHU, HAWAII, USA using a WAVERIDER instrument.

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.

Wave and other data were collected from Coastal Hawaii (NE Pacific limit-180) from a fixed Waverider buoy. Data consists of an approximately 10 day (27 March 2000 to 05 April 2000) times series of wave characteristics and temperatures. Wave characteristics include wave heights, periods, and directions. Data were collected by the University of Hawaii - Manoa (UHM).

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.

This dataset contains two Wave Energy (wave height and wave period) data files from Hawaiian coast (Kahului, Maui) collected in TOGA Area - Pacific (30 N to 30 S) from October 27, 1993 to May 31, 1995. Data collected by Dr. W. M. O'Reilly were submitted through Ms. Julie Thomas of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA.
