Water level and velocity measurements from the 2012 University of Western...
This data release contains water level and velocity measurements from wave runup experiments performed in a laboratory flume setting. Wave-driven water level variability (and... -
Commercial Fishing Estimated Average Annual Catch of Reef Fish, 2003-2013 - Hawaii
Nearshore fisheries in the Main Hawaiian Islands encompass a diverse group of fishers using a wide array of gears and targeting many different species. Communities in Hawaii... -
Dynamically downscaled future wave projections from SWAN model results for...
Projected wave climate trends from WAVEWATCH3 model output were used as input for nearshore wave models (for example, SWAN) for the main Hawaiian Islands to derive data and... -

Nearshore fisheries in the Main Hawaiian Islands encompass a diverse group of fishers using a wide array of gears and targeting many different species. Communities in Hawaii... -
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Average Annual Maximum Anomaly, 2000-2013 - Hawaii
Sea surface temperature (SST) plays an important role in a number of ecological processes and can vary over a wide range of time scales, from daily to decadal changes. SST... -
Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Standard Deviation of Long-term...
Solar irradiance is one of the most important factors influencing coral reefs. As the majority of their nutrients are obtained from symbiotic photosynthesizing organisms, reef-... -

Chlorophyll-a Standard Deviation of Long-Term Mean, 2002-2013 - Hawaii
Chlorophyll-a is a widely used proxy for phytoplankton biomass and an indicator for changes in phytoplankton production. As an essential source of energy in the marine... -
Model parameter input files to study three-dimensional flow over coral reef...
This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and SWAN hydrodynamic models input files used to study the wave-induced 3D flow over spur-and-groove (SAG) formations. SAG... -
