This data set consists of the oceanographic measurements at depths of 2 to 15 m made by the US Geological Survey. Bottom-mounted oceanographic instrument packages were deployed along the 5-m and 15-m isobaths, as well as a cross-shore array in the central region of Kawaihae Bay. This cross-shore array included three bottom-mounted oceanographic instrument packages on the 2-m, 5-m, and 15-m isobaths, and two moorings on the 5-m and 15-m isobaths. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0138581 Preview graphic PNG 0138581 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2014-11-24 publication CURRENT SPEED - EAST/WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT SPEED - NORTH/SOUTH COMPONENT (V) CURRENT SPEED - UP/DOWN COMPONENT (W) DEPTH - OBSERVATION SALINITY SWELL DIRECTION SWELL HEIGHT SWELL PERIOD turbidity WATER TEMPERATURE WAVE - PEAK PERIOD WAVE DATA WAVE DATA - CO-SPECTRA WAVE DIRECTION WAVE ENERGY - SPECTRAL VALUE WAVE HEIGHT - SIGNIFICANT WAVE PERIOD - AVERAGE WAVE PERIOD - DOMINANT WAVE SPECTRA WAVE SPECTRA - DIRECTIONAL theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP CTD - moored CTD current meter turbidity sensor wave sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS current measurements in situ physical profile sediment analysis surface measurements time series time series profile theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS United States Geological Survey dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS United States Geological Survey dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS HAWAII CORAL REEF INITIATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM (HCRI) project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Hawaii North Pacific Ocean Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOI/USGS > U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Department of the Interior dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. CTD - moored CTD CTD - moored CTD CTD - moored CTD current meter current meter current meter turbidity sensor turbidity sensor Measures the turbidity of water Turbidity sensors measure the amount of light that is scattered by suspended solids in a liquid, such as water. When the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS) in a liquid increase, the turbidity also increases. wave sensor wave sensor used to measure directional wave spectra A wave sensor reports wave height, wave period, wave direction and possibly other parameters.
