This dataset was used as groundtruthing for low-altitude thermal infrared imagery of surface nearshore coastal waters of west Hawaii (the Big Island). Data are primarily temperature and salinity data taken in Honokohau Harbor and the adjacent oceanic waters from the surface to 5 m depth during August 2006. Additional Temperature and Salinity data plus nutrients (phosphates, nitrate, and silica) from fresh and brackish wells/ponds, harbors, and coastal waters were measured from August 2005 through May 2007.
