abstract: This dataset contains physical and meteorological data collected from non-Federal stations throughout the United States Pacific Islands. The data is predominantly long time series at fixed moorings and buoys with a variety of instruments including CTDs, fluorometers, oxygen sensors, optical turbidity sensors, pH sensors, and water quality sensors. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), which assembles data from sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program.
purpose: This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
credit: Data provided by PacIOOS (http://pacioos.org) which is part of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and are funded in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) award #NA11NOS0120039 and NSF EPSCoR award #EPS-0903833.

description: optical sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations The OBS is an optical sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations by detecting infra-red light scattered from suspended matter.

code: PAR Sensor
type: PAR Sensor
description: Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6. (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/instrument/par.htm)
