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_009 was located approximately 70 meters offshore of Cetti Bay near Umatac on the southwest coast of Guam. The sensor package was mounted to the sea floor at approximately 3 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.
