Monitoring of the Hawaiian breakwaters includes limited ground surveys for control and a
photogrammetric survey of the above-water armor layers. Precise positions of all armor units in
the photography are analyzed. In addition, representative units are targeted, and x, y, and z
coordinates of the targets are obtained and compared with base level conditions to define armor
unit movement data. Armor unit centroid data and rotational angles are also computed depicting
change. Monitoring also includes detailed broken armor unit surveys for comparison with base
conditions.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER/INFUSION: Efforts to improve technology transfer/infusion
are underway. To date, 39 technical reports and 17 technical notes (including four lessons-
learned technical notes) have been published and distributed to the field. In addition, many
journal articles and conference proceedings have been published on navigation projects based on
monitoring results.
An MCNP Web site has recently been developed and placed on the World Wide Web. The
MCNP homepage is shown in Figure 3 and includes a description of the program with various
links as shown. The site can be accessed at:
