PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 011: Laolao Bay, Saipan, CNMI

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_011 was located approximately 70 meters offshore of Puntan Babpot near the golf course at Laolao Bay on the east shore of Saipan in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). 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.

2013-08-02T01:59:28Z Decommissioned.
2022-03-29T22:11:00Z Data migrated and new ingest and processing code developed. Data reprocessed to incorporate QARTOD delayed-mode quality descriptor flags and latest IOOS standards. Dataset identifier modified and consolidated from "nss11_agg" (ERDDAP) and "NS11agg" (TDS) to "NSS-011". Laolao Bay added to title.
2022-11-04T22:17:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "NSS-011" to "nss_011" to satisfy future ERDDAP requirements.

近岸传感器构成了太平洋岛屿海洋观测系统（PacIOOS）的一部分，旨在对固定点进行多种海洋参数的测量。nss_011位于北马里亚纳群岛自由邦塞班岛东部海岸劳劳湾附近的Puntan Babpot高尔夫球场约70米处 offshore。传感器组件被安装在约3米深的海底。PacIOOS近岸传感器用于监测海岸水域状况，以帮助提供关于可能受污染的降雨径流、污水泄漏和来自陆地水道（如溪流和其他直接流入海洋的出水口）的土壤侵蚀的早期迹象。
