Description:The necessity to know the spatial and temporal circulation variation at each site of interest is an integral and important part of all ocean activities planned or underway in the nearshore and offshore waters around Oahu, Hawaii. These activities, to list a few, include coastal preservation, wastewater management, marine transportation, construction, shipping, marine research, offshore mooring design, commercial fishing, and recreation. This atlas provides the first comprehensive analysis and summary of all circulation observations taken to date around Oahu, Hawaii. Detailed descriptive maps showing all seasonal characteristics of the circulation patterns observed or believed to exist around Oahu are included. The four primary objectives of this work were (1) to assemble all available published and unpublished data and observations pertinent to describing the ocean circulation found around Oahu, Hawaii; (2) to evaluate and convert these data for comparison; (3) to collate all results and determine the circulation patterns; and (4) to present a summary of the results in atlas form.
