Oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected from station Mohawk River at Ilion by Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS) and assembled by Mid-Atlantic Regional Association Coastal Ocean Observing System (MARACOOS) in the Hudson River from 2013-05-01 to 2017-05-3

NCEI Accession 0163417 contains oceanographic and surface meteorological data collected at Mohawk River at Ilion, a fixed station in the Hudson River. These sensors measure BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, CONDUCTIVITY, DEPTH - OBSERVATION, DISSOLVED OXYGEN, LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, OXYGEN - PERCENT SATURATION, WATER TEMPERATURE, pH and turbidity at frequent intervals in the nearshore coastal ocean. Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS) collected the data and provided the data to MARACOOS, which assembles data from Hudson River Environmental Conditions Observing System (HRECOS) and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal United States, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. The data are made available in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Each month, NCEI adds to the Accession the data collected during the previous month.

The Mohawk River at Ilion water quality monitoring station contributes to the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) Statewide Water Quality Monitoring Program and will assist in the overall development of water management strategies to protect and improve New York\'s natural resources. Funding is provided by the NYSDEC Mohawk River Basin Program and the New York State Environmental Protection Fund.
