Maps of Maximum Annually Recurring Wave Properties for the State of Hawaii Maui County Coastal Roads Report
Description
This database consists of a series of maps that depict the maximum annually recurring wave properties for the 157 CRESI transect start points, identified for their vulnerability to the effects of climate change in the State of Hawaii Maui County Coastal Roads Report (Francis et al., 2024b), along the coastal roads on the islands of Maui and Molokai. PWD represents Peak Wave Direction, from which the wave is coming, SWH represents Significant Wave Height, and PWP represents Peak Wave Period. CRESI transects and corresponding virtual buoys are identified by Francis et al. (2024a). State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) state routes and Maui County Roads are acquired from HDOT (2023) and MC (2022). Shoreline datasets are provided by NGS (2017). The wave data are downloaded from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) (PacIOOS, 2021) and the maximum annually recurring wave properties are derived according to the method presented in Anderson et al. (2018) and Vitousek and Fletcher (2008). Details of the data sources and methods can be found in the 'Maps of Maximum Annually Recurring Wave Properties-README.docx' .
