CeNCOOS in situ water quality monitoring at Monterey Bay Commercial Wharf

The Monterey shore station is maintained by Moss Landing Marine Labs. The station has been operational since 2012 and consists of in water sensors that are fixed to a pier sampling every 15 minutes. These sensors provide near-real time observations of ocean water salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and pH. These sensors provide near-real time observations of ocean water conductivity, salinity, temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity and nitrate. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.cdm_data_type = TimeSeriesVARIABLES:time (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)latitude (degrees_north)longitude (degrees_east)z (Altitude, m)mass_concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water (Chlorophyll, microg.L-1)mass_concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water_qc_agg (Chlorophyll QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)mass_concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water_qc_tests (Chlorophyll QARTOD Individual Tests)sea_water_electrical_conductivity (Conductivity, mS.cm-1)sea_water_electrical_conductivity_qc_agg (Conductivity QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)sea_water_electrical_conductivity_qc_tests (Conductivity QARTOD Individual Tests)mass_concentration_of_oxygen_in_sea_water (Dissolved Oxygen Concentration, mg.L-1)mass_concentration_of_oxygen_in_sea_water_qc_agg (Dissolved Oxygen Concentration QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)mass_concentration_of_oxygen_in_sea_water_qc_tests (Dissolved Oxygen Concentration QARTOD Individual Tests)sea_water_practical_salinity (Salinity, 1e-3)sea_water_practical_salinity_qc_agg (Salinity QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)sea_water_practical_salinity_qc_tests (Salinity QARTOD Individual Tests)sea_water_pressure (decibars)sea_water_pressure_qc_agg (Sea Water Pressure QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)sea_water_pressure_qc_tests (Sea Water Pressure QARTOD Individual Tests)sea_water_temperature (Water Temperature, degree_Celsius)...
