Notes -
Kaiolena Street:intersection of Mokulua and Kaiolena; embayed beach
area with many catamarans (visible in aerial photo). Trades were blowing from
the ENE at 20-30 knots, with gusts to 40, and had been for several days. Some
scarping present as a result. Between 4 and 7 pm (moderate tides, moderate to
large fetch waves), four locations along Lanikai Beach were sampled at 2 regions
of the beach face. In most cases, samples labeled #1 are the upper 5-6 cm of
sand collected ~0.5 m makai of the vegetation line; #2 is the upper 4 cm of sand
collected from the high swash area. The swash was a bit steeper than usual, so
samples were taken rather high on it rather than at mid-swash. The main street
running along the shore in Lanikai is Mokulua Drive, and the samples are named
by the cross streets at each of the access paths.
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
