Abstract:
US Geological Survey (USGS) Western Region Coastal and Marine Geology Team deployed NIWA Dobie-A non-directional wave gauges in 5 nearshore areas of southwestern Molokai in depths from 4 to 13m during February 2001 - February 2002. Finalized data are provided in ASCII format.
Purpose:
To collect research-grade scientific data to provide baseline measurements and for nearshore circulation studies.

Process_Description:
A NIWA Dobie-A non-directional wave gauge was used to acquire this dataset. The Dobie was used in Time Series mode and thus recorded a time series of pressure, which was converted to water depth assuming a water density and atmospheric pressure. Significant wave height (Hs) and dominant wave period (Td) were computed from these 512 s time series of water depth at 2 Hz using the US Army Corps of Engineers (1989) SUPERDUCK spectral method. The high-frequency and low-frequency cut-offs were 0.04 Hz / 25 s and 0.25 Hz / 4 s, respectively.

Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
* DYD Decimal year day 2001; dates/times are local Hawaiian Standard Time (GMT-11:00). * Hs - Significant wave height in meters; derived from the zeroth moment of the reported energy spectrum. Described as the "average height of the one third highest waves in the record". The US Army Corps of Engineers, Shore Protection Manual, 3-11, states that a useful estimate of significant wave height in deep water is defined as: Hs~4*sigma, where sigma is the standard deviation of the wave record. Statistically, the maximum wave height in the record is Hmax ~ 9*Hs/5. * Tp - Peak period, in seconds; inverse of the frequency with the highest energy in the reported spectrum. ASC-II tab-delimited text. Data gaps and null values are denoted by the -99999 delimiter.
