Synoptic Bi-monthly and storm response water quality sampling in Southern Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, from November 2007 - April 2009 (NODC Accession 0062644)

Synoptic sampling including water column profiles and collected surface water samples was conducted on a bi-monthly basis throughout the rainy season (October-May) and on a monthly basis in the dry season (June-September) at nine locations in southern Kaneohe Bay in support of the Coral Reef Instrumented Monitoring Platform (CRIMP) program. Another dozen or so ancillary stations were also monitored selectively. Storm events were defined as greater than 5.1 cm of rain at the Luluku rain gain in less than 24 hours. The nine southern bay stations were sampled daily for one week after or until no obvious visual evidence of the storm runoff remained.
