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_001 was located at the bridge pier of the Waikiki Yacht Club at Ala Wai Harbor by the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal near Waikiki on the South Shore of Oahu in the state of Hawaii. The sensor package was fixed to a piling at about 1.0 meter 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.
