Tuvalu, South Pacific, wave and water level data, 2019

Time series data of wave height and water surface elevation were acquired for 100 days at three locations off of the island of Nanumanga, three locations off of the island of Nanumea, three locations off of the island of Nui, two locations off of the island of Nikulaelae, and two locations off of the island of Niulakita, in the island nation of Tuvalu, 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 reefs were as follows: TVL19NG3, TVL19NM1, TVL19NU1, TVL19NK1 and TVL19NL1 – offshore TVL19NG1, TVL19NM2 and TVL19NU2 – reef crest TVL19NG3, TVL19NM3, TVL19NU3, TVL19NK2 and TVL19NL2 – reef flat
