The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: Biological, physical, and time series data collected from station nss_002 by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and assembled by Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) in the North Pacific Ocean from 2008-07-29 to 2022-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0277750)
Abstract: This dataset contains biological, physical, and time series data in netCDF formatted files, which follow the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). University of Hawai'i at Mānoa collected the data from their in-situ moored station named nss_002: PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 002: Hawaii Yacht Club, Oahu, Hawaii, in the North Pacific Ocean. PacIOOS, which assembles data from University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and other sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems of the U.S. Pacific Islands, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. Each month, NCEI adds to this dataset the data collected during the previous month.

The nearshore sensors are part of the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) and are designed to measure a variety of ocean parameters at fixed points. nss_002 is located at a floating dock off of the Hawaii Yacht Club at Ala Wai Harbor by the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal near Waikiki on the South Shore of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. The sensor package is fixed to the floating dock just below the ocean surface at about 0.5 meter depth. PacIOOS nearshore sensors monitor coastal water conditions to help provide early indications of potentially polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead directly into the ocean.
