Description:

Abstract:

This data set shows readings of tsunami wave heights over time at various locations within the Waianae moku (traditional district) on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. Wave heights were recorded from the 1946, 1952, 1957, 1960 and 1964 Hawaii tsunamis. This file was clipped from a larger data set that showed tsunami wave heights on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, and Hawaii.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data set is to show the tsunami wave heights for the Waianae moku on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It is part of a larger effort to provide the Waianae community, located on the western side of Oahu, ecological and cultural spatial data to assist in their land and resource planning efforts.

Process_Description:

This file was clipped to the Waianae moku from the state ESRI ArcGIS coverage entitled tsunhgts that showed tsunami wave heights for the Hawaiian Islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, and Hawaii.

The original coverage was digitized by Hawaii Office of Planning Staff in October, 1999, from "Tsunami Wave Runup Heights In Hawaii," by Harold G. Loomis, published in May, 1976.
