CeNCOOS in situ water quality monitoring at Morro bay

The Morro Bay shore station is maintained by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. The station has been operational since 2007 and consists of four sensors. This station is fixed to the North T-pier approximately one meter below the surface and located near the mouth of Morro Bay. 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)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)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)...
