    • PacIOOS Nearshore Sensor 006: Pohnpei, FSM

    Metadata Updated: February 16, 2024

    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_006 is located at the Kangaroo Court dock inside the lagoon near Kolonia on the north shore of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). The sensor package is mounted to the dock at approximately 1 meter depth. For a limited time period between August 2011 and May 2014, the sensor package was relocated approximately 275 meters further down the coast to a floating dock at the Pohnpei Surf Club. 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.

    Lineage 2010-05-07T06:16:14Z UH/SOEST/PacIOOS (M.A. McManus) asset deployed at site nss_006_001 at Kangaroo Court dock, mounted at approximately 1 meter depth. 2011-08-01T22:42:26Z Moved to site nss_006_002: approximately 275 meters further down the coast at the Pohnpei Surf Club, hanging off a floating dock at approximately 1 meter depth. 2014-05-29T04:17:12Z Moved to site nss_006_003: returned to the original site at Kangaroo Court dock (nss_006_001), again mounted at approximately 1 meter depth. 2022-04-09T01:14:00Z Data migrated and new ingest and processing code developed. Data reprocessed to incorporate QARTOD delayed-mode quality descriptor flags and latest IOOS standards. Dataset identifier modified and consolidated from "nss06_agg" (ERDDAP) and "NS06agg" (TDS) to "NSS-006". 2022-11-03T22:53:00Z Dataset identifier modified from "NSS-006" to "nss_006" to satisfy future ERDDAP requirements.
