Observations of waves and currents on the fore-reef and reef flat of a coral reef atoll in the South China Sea

Understanding the wave and current conditions of coral reef ecosystems is essential for maintaining their health, as many reef processes are controlled by these hydrodynamic conditions. In this study, high-frequency measurements of tides, waves, and currents were made using acoustic, electromagnetic...
