Data were obtained from 373 state-wide coastal stations employing well-established instruments and methodologies. This dataset spans 1973-2006. Parameters include temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, percent saturation of oxygen, pH, turbidity, oxidation-reduction potential, and concentration of fecal coliforms. The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii's coastal and inland water resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of polluted runoff control projects, and public education. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:Hawaii-DOH-Water-Quality Preview graphic PNG 0013723 0013724 0014264 0020391 0031350 9800067 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-05-03 publication AMMONIA (NH3) bacteria BACTERIA - BACTERIAL DENSITY biological data CARBON - TOTAL ORGANIC CHLOROPHYLL CHLOROPHYLL A CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - OBSERVATION DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON DISSOLVED OXYGEN NITRATE nitrate + nitrite content (concentration) NITRITE NITROGEN ORGANIC CHEMICALS OXYGEN OXYGEN - PERCENT SATURATION pH PHAEOPIGMENTS phosphate PHOSPHATE - TOTAL SALINITY SALINITY - SURFACE WATER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE Secchi depth silicate SOLIDS suspended solids total alkalinity TOTAL CARBON TOTAL PHOSPHORUS turbidity WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS bottle multi-parameter water quality sensor nephelometer refractometer Secchi disk thermometer instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical laboratory analyses manual sample collection physical profile site samples survey water chemistry theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS Hawaii State Department of Health University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa US Environmental Protection Agency dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Hawaii State Department of Health University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS COASTAL Coral Reef Information System (CoRIS) CORAL REEF STUDIES project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Hawaii North Pacific Ocean Northeast Pacific Ocean (limit-180) place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NODC > National Oceanographic Data Center, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce HI/DOH > State of Hawaii Department of Health dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian bottle bottle any type of water bottle sampling device Generic name for water collection device; usually used to determine temperature, salinity and provide water aliquots for measurement of a wide range of parameters; often referred to by a specific type of water sampling bottle, such as a Nansen or Niskin bottle. multi-parameter water quality sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters Instrument used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters, often used to measure water quality parameters. Can be a hand-held instrument or a sonde for unattended monitoring. Often used in coastal water monitoring stations. YSI is the preeminent brand (as of 2024). nephelometer nephelometer device for measuring the size and concentration of particles in a liquid by an analysis of the light transmitted through or reflected by the liquid. refractometer refractometer refractometer Secchi disk Secchi disk The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity.
