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_wqspp_006_002 by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and assembled by Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) in the Philippine Sea from 2019-12-18 to 2020-11-06 (NCEI Accession 0277771) |
| 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_wqspp_006_002: PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program 006: Ngaremlengui, Babeldaob, Palau, in the Philippine Sea. 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 point locations. The PacIOOS Water Quality Sensor Partnership Program (WQSPP) supports scientists and natural resource managers to collect water quality data in order to inform research, conservation, planning, and resource management projects in the U.S. Insular Pacific region. Comprised of a network of "roving" water quality nearshore sensors, the WQSPP provides participating partners with sensors, data management, and technical capacity-building to allow for robust data collection. nss_wqspp_006 was located at Ngaremlengui dock along the Chometubet River in the village of Ngermetengel on the west coast of the island of Babeldoab in the Republic of Palau. The sensor package was originally mounted to the dock at approximately 1 meter depth but was later redeployed at approximately 2 meters depth on October 8, 2020. Data were recorded every 8 or 10 minutes. The Forest and Watershed Restoration Program of the Ebiil Society of Palau replanted vegetative cover in an upland development area above the dock and adjacent river. As part of the WQSPP, the Ebiil Society deployed this PacIOOS nearshore water quality sensor to monitor sediment run-off in the downstream and reef area and thereby assess the success of the revegetation efforts. |
