Wave and Current Data from Kuhio Bay in Hilo, Hawaii March through June 2007 (NODC Accession 0050188)
Description
Field data collection was conducted for the U.S. Army Engineer District, Pacific Ocean, Honolulu (POH), during 21 March through 7 June 2007, in Kuhio Bay of Hilo, Hawaii (Big Island). Wave and current data were collected at three fixed locations using bottom-mounted RD Instruments Workhorse, 1.2 MHz, ADCPs (Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers). One of the instruments, located closest to the open ocean, included wave measurements. Of the other two units, one lost battery power on 7 April. 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. Deployments were made on 22-23 March, 5-6 June, and 6-7 June.
