Currents and Temperature Measurements in Kaneohe Bay Hawaii 2005-2007

Over 24 stations were monitored for currents, temperature, and pressure in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. Data were collected from November 2005 to March 2007 by researchers from the University of Hawaii's Department of Oceanography. The dataset includes measurements from moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers and Nortek current meters.

Use Cases

• Analyzing freshwater plume dispersion from rain run-off using current velocity and temperature data.
• Studying coastal circulation patterns in Kaneohe Bay using time-series current meter measurements.
• Correlating temperature and pressure readings from the Nortek meter with current profiles.
• Validating hydrodynamic models of bay circulation with in-situ ADCP data.

Strengths

• Data collection spanned a 16-month period from November 2005 to March 2007, providing seasonal coverage.
• Measurements were taken at 24 distinct stations, offering spatial coverage of the bay.
• Data includes ancillary sensor readings like temperature and pressure alongside current velocities.

Limitations

• The exact row count, column names, and dataset size are unknown across all sources.
• Conflicting last updated dates exist between platforms (2007-03-07 and 2026-03-05), creating uncertainty about data currency.
• Temperature and salinity data from the 24 stations are noted as being in a separate, unspecified accession.
