Lafferty, K.D., and Morton, D.N., 2018, Site table and bias corrections for Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) hind casts at the California Channel Islands: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9FV1X7H.
Summary
We present correction coefficients for hourly wave height and period hind casts for 32 sites throughout the Channel Islands National Park and San Nicolas Island. Each site is described in terms of its location, orientation, and transect depth. To use this table, first generate a site-specific wave height and period hind cast using the California Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) Monitoring and Prediction (MOP) System (https://cdip.ucsd.edu/documents/index/product_docs/mops/mop_intro.html).

Purpose
Site information, combined with sensor data, can be compared with CDIP model predictions to estimate forecast and hind cast bias corrections at these sites.
