CeNCOOS in situ water quality monitoring at Humboldt Bay Pier

The Humboldt shore station is located on the Chevron dock and is maintained by Humboldt State University. This station has been active since November 2012 and is the replacement system of the previous water quality station at Dock B. In August 2015 PAR and Solar Radiation sensors were added to the instrumentation suite. 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)fractional_saturation_of_oxygen_in_sea_water (Oxygen Saturation, %)fractional_saturation_of_oxygen_in_sea_water_qc_agg (Oxygen Saturation QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)fractional_saturation_of_oxygen_in_sea_water_qc_tests (Oxygen Saturation QARTOD Individual Tests)surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air (Global Solar Radiation, W.m-2)surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air_qc_agg (Global Solar Radiation QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air_qc_tests (Global Solar Radiation QARTOD Individual Tests)surface_downwelling_photosynthetic_photon_flux_in_air (micromol.m-2.s-1)surface_downwelling_photosynthetic_photon_flux_in_air_qc_agg (Surface Downwelling Photosynthetic Photon Flux In Air QARTOD Aggregate Quality Flag)surface_downwelling_photosynthetic_photon_flux_in_air_qc_tests (Surface Downwelling Photosynthetic Photon Flux In Air QARTOD Individual Tests)...
