PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 004: Waikiki Aquarium, Oahu, Hawaii

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_004 is located near Waikiki Aquarium on the South Shore of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. The sensor package is mounted to the sea floor at approximately 2.0 meters depth. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.

Lineage Statement 2009-07-06T19:58:28Z UH/SOEST/PacIOOS (M.A. McManus) asset deployed. 2016-01-08T22:00:00Z Science variables duplicated into processed and raw copies to accommodate future delayed-mode reprocessing, if any. 2022-03-24T22:19:00Z Data migrated and new ingest and processing code developed. Data reprocessed to incorporate QARTOD real-time quality control flags, delayed-mode quality descriptor flags, and latest IOOS standards. Dataset identifier modified and consolidated from "nss04_agg" (ERDDAP) and "NS04agg" (TDS) to "NSS-004". 2022-11-01T20:52:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "NSS-004" to "nss_004" to satisfy future ERDDAP requirements.
