            <title>Wave Power Maximum Monthly Climatological Mean, 1979-2013 - Hawaii</title>

         <abstract>Wave power is a major environmental forcing mechanism in Hawaii that influences a number of marine ecosystem processes including coral reef community development, structure, and persistence. By driving mixing of the upper water column, wave forcing can also play a role in nutrient availability and ocean temperature reduction during warming events. Wave forcing in Hawaii is highly seasonal, with winter months typically experiencing far greater wave power than that experienced during the summer months. This layer represents the maximum monthly climatological mean of wave power (kW/m) from 1979-2013. Data were obtained from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) SWAN model (Simulating WAves Nearshore) following Li et al. (2016).

Hourly 500-m SWAN model runs of wave power were converted to maximum daily wave power from 1979-2013 and then averaged over each month from 1979-2013, creating a monthly time series from which monthly climatologies were made. Pixels were removed directly adjacent to coastlines owing to the model being too coarse to handle extreme refraction and dissipation. Nearshore map pixels with no data were filled with values from the nearest neighboring valid offshore pixel by using a grid of points and the Near Analysis tool in ArcGIS then converting points to raster.</abstract>
         <purpose>This layer was developed as part of a geospatial database of key anthropogenic pressures to coastal waters of the Main Hawaiian Islands for the Ocean Tipping Points (OTP) project (http://oceantippingpoints.org). Ocean tipping points occur when shifts in human use or environmental conditions result in large, and sometimes abrupt, impacts to marine ecosystems. The ability to predict and understand ocean tipping points can enhance ecosystem management, including critical coral reef management and policies to protect ecosystem services produced by coral reefs. The goal of the Ocean Tipping Points Hawaii case study was to gather, process, and map spatial information on environmental and human-based drivers of coral reef ecosystem conditions.</purpose>
