The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Wave spectra and other data from waverider in coastal Hawaiian waters from 1981-08-17 to 1994-03-23 (NCEI Accession 9400105) |
| Abstract: | This dataset contains Wave Energy (wave height and wave period) Data from Hawaiian coast collected over 13 years in North Pacific Ocean, NE Pacific (limit-180). Total three sets of Wave Energy Data comprise this accession. The first set was collected from Barbers Point, Oahu, Hawaii (21:19:4 n, 158:7:2w). These data are part of a series spanning 6/29/86-1/25/90. The second set was collected from Barking Sands, Kauai (22:08:9 n, 158:48:2w). These data are part of a series spanning 10/21/82-09/16/93. The third set was collected from Makapuu, Oahu, (21:19:7 n, 157:35:1w). These data are part of a series spanning 08/17/81-03/23/94. Data were submitted through Pat Caldwell of NODC from Dr. Bill O'Reilly of Scripps Coastal Data Information Program. Each file in this series corresponds to data collected by a single instrument installed for a given period of time. Each file has been assigned a separate NODC reference number. The documentation includes the instrument, location, dates, and depth. Significant wave height was measured as cm, significant wave period was measured in seconds. |

| Supplementary information: | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
