Description
Time series data of water surface elevation, wave height, and water column currents and temperature were acquired at seven locations for 86 days off of Waiakane on the south coast of the island of Molokai, Hawaii, in support of a study on the coastal circulation patterns and the transformation of surface waves over the coral reefs. The relative placement of sensors on the reef were as follows:
MKK18C01 – offshore
MKK18C02 and MKK18C09 – fore reef
MKK18C18 – reef crest
MKK18C20 – outer reef flat
MKK18C22 – middle reef flat
MKK18C22 – inner reef flat
