Data provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
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_006 is located at the Kangaroo Court dock inside the lagoon near Kolonia on the north shore of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The sensor package is mounted to the dock at approximately 1 meter depth. For a limited time period between August 2011 and May 2014, the sensor package was relocated approximately 275 meters further down the coast to a floating dock at the Pohnpei Surf Club. 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.
