PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 002: Hawaii Yacht Club, 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_002 is located at a floating dock off of the Hawaii 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 is fixed to the floating dock just below the ocean surface at about 0.5 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.
