Abstract:

Wave buoy 165 measures wave height, wave direction, wave period, and water temperature in the vicinity of Barbers Point on the leeward (western) coast of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. Data are transmitted every half hour. Moored in water 300 meters deep, this Datawell Directional Waverider Mark III (DWR-MkIII) buoy is equipped with three accelerometers measuring north/south, east/west, and vertical displacements, allowing it to measure both wave direction and wave energy. The temperature sensor is located at the base of the 0.9 meter spherical buoy, approximately 45 cm or 18 inches below the ocean surface. Wave buoys are useful tools for forecasting local waves and are used by recreational and professional ocean users alike. For recent wave observations at a nearby location, please visit the Kalaeloa Barbers Point wave buoy (cdip238). Because this historical Barbers Point buoy location experienced significant damage during vessel strikes, it was decommissioned and later replaced by the Kalaeloa Barbers Point wave buoy in a less frequented area to help avoid future collisions.

Purpose:

PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in the U.S. Pacific Islands region.

Credit:

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). Wave buoy 165 is owned and managed by PacIOOS. The Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (JIMAR) provided the initial funding to purchase this buoy. Data are managed and distributed by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP).
