This nearshore sensor (nss_cwb_002) operated for nearly a year between August 5, 2019 and July 11, 2020. It was located approximately 350 m south/southwest of Kawaikuʻi Beach Park in Maunalua Bay on the South Shore of Oʻahu in the State of Hawaiʻi. The sensor package was mounted on a cement block at about 1.5 meters depth. Data were collected every 4 minutes. 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.
nss_cwb_002 was owned by the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Health Clean Water Branch. PacIOOS maintained the nearshore sensor under the supervision of Dr. Margaret McManus and lab, and enables easy access to the data.
