The purpose of the Mamala Bay Study is to develop an Integrated Coastal Management Plan in order to protect the environment and public health of this unique embayment off leeward Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. Having resulted from a Consent Decree of the United States District Court in Honolulu, Hawaii, the study called specifically for: 1) An analysis of point and non-point source discharges into Mamala Bay, 2) A determination of the effects of these discharges on water quality, ecosystems and public health, and 3) A management plan to reduce pollution and improve water quality in the bay. 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:Mamala_Bay_Study_1993-1995 Preview graphic PNG 0000030 0000624 0001172 0001188 9600024 9600041 9800089 9800147 9800149 9800151 9800152 9800169 9800170 9800174 9900064 9900112 9900120 9900121 9900151 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 1999-08-25 publication AIR TEMPERATURE - DRY BULB AIR TEMPERATURE - WET BULB AMMONIA (NH3) AMMONIUM (NH4) ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL - COUNTS bacteria BACTERIA - BACTERIAL DENSITY BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BEACH TAR - WATERLINE TO SAMPLE DISTANCE BENTHIC COMMUNITIES BENTHIC SPECIES BENTHIC SPECIES - TAXA COUNTS BENTHIC SPECIES - TAXA IDENTITIES BENTHIC SPECIES - TAXA WET WEIGHTS biological data BIOMASS CAS (CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS SERVICE) PARAMETER CODES CHEMISTRY - SEDIMENT CHLOROPHYLL A CHLOROPHYLL B CHLOROPHYLL C cloud amount/frequency cloud type CONDUCTIVITY CORAL CORE - BOTTOM CRUSTACEANS CURRENT METER - EAST-WEST COMPONENT (U) CURRENT METER - NORTH-SOUTH COMPONENT (V) CURRENT METER - SPEED CURRENT SPEED CURRENT SPEED - UP/DOWN COMPONENT (W) DEPTH - OBSERVATION DEPTH - SENSOR DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON DISSOLVED ORGANIC MATTER DISSOLVED OXYGEN EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE IDENTIFIER EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE POINT EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE PRIMARY INDUSTRY EFFLUENT - DISCHARGE QUANTITY EFFLUENT - ZONE OF INITIAL DILUTION FISH SPECIES FLUORESCENCE HABITAT - BENTHIC HABITAT - SEDIMENT SIZE HYDROCARBONS - TOTAL RESOLVED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE INVERTEBRATE SPECIES LIGHT ATTENUATION LIGHT TRANSMISSION MACROFAUNA MICROBIOLOGY MOLLUSKS NITRATE nitrate + nitrite content (concentration) NITRITE NITROGEN NITROGEN - PARTICULATE NUTRIENTS Ocean pollution and marine debris OPTICAL PROPERTIES OXYGEN PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON PARTICULATE ORGANIC NITROGEN (PON) pH PHAEOPHYTIN PHAEOPIGMENTS phosphate PHOSPHATE - TOTAL FILTER PASSING PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) PLANKTON POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY - PHYTOPLANKTON SALINITY SEA STATE Secchi depth SEDIMENT - GRAIN SIZE SEDIMENT PROPERTIES SEDIMENTS SEDIMENTS - DRY WEIGHT SEDIMENTS - PARTICLE SIZE FRACTIONS SIGMA-T silicate SOUND VELOCITY SPECIES IDENTIFICATION SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - COUNT SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - LIFE STAGE SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - SEX SPECIES IDENTIFICATION - WET WEIGHT suspended solids TOTAL PHOSPHATE TOTAL PHOSPHORUS TOXIN TRANSMISSIVITY turbidity UPWELLING IRRADIANCE VERTEBRATES VISIBILITY WATER DENSITY water depth WATER TEMPERATURE WEATHER WIND DIRECTION WIND SPEED ZOOPLANKTON ABUNDANCE ZOOPLANKTON BIOMASS ZOOPLANKTON IDENTITIES ZOOPLANKTON SPECIES IDENTITIES ZOOPLANKTON SPECIES NUMBER PER SAMPLE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS ADCP bathythermograph - BT bottle conductivity sensor corer CTD current meter fluorometer laboratory analysis mass spectrometer meteorological sensor mooring multi-parameter water quality sensor net - zooplankton net pH sensor photograph pressure gauge pump sampler salinometer Secchi disk sediment sampler - corer sediment sampler - grab sediment sieve swimmer/diver thermistor thermograph thermometer tide gauge transmissometer trap - sediment visual analysis visual observation instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS benthic biological chemical continuous current measurements laboratory analyses optical physical profile sediment analysis survey survey - biological survey - coral reef survey - swimmer/diver time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES RV Nathaniel B.

The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all datasets on an ongoing basis.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian ADCP ADCP Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler The Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measures currents beneath a ship while underway. Sound signals sent from the moving ship bounce back to receivers aboard the ship. This provides a profile of water movement relative to the ship-precise modern navigation, allowing the ship's motion to be subtracted from the data. These devices are also used on moorings and profilers and, along with acoustic backscattering, measure animal biomass. Particles in the path of the sound waves, mostly plankton, reflect a small part of the sound energy back toward receivers, allowing researchers to make remote estimates of the sizes and numbers of animals present in the water column. Before the 1970's, the most technologically advanced instrument used to measure water velocity was known as a Doppler speed log. This evolved into the first commercial ADCP, produced in the mid-1970's, which used averaging. Later in the 1970's, the first vessel-mounted ADCP was developed to measure water velocity more accurately and to allow measurement in range cells over a depth profile. As instruments evolved, so did new techniques in Doppler signal processing. Initially, Doppler speed logs used simple analog signal processing methods, which are still used in some commercial speed logs today. However, the first ADCPs incorporated analog-to-digital signal conversion over a narrow communication bandwidth. Around 1990, this technique was developed into broadband signal processing. Since then, broadband ADCPs have been able to generate very accurate, real-time velocity measurements. bathythermograph - BT bathythermograph - BT BathyThermograph 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. conductivity sensor conductivity sensor OMEGA non-contact conductivity sensor CDCN-108 or Honeywell DirectLine DL423 Sensor Module, for example Water conductivity sensors are used to measure how well a solution conducts an electrical current. corer corer submersible, hydraulic rotary coring drill CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe current meter current meter current meter fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer laboratory analysis laboratory analysis use as an observation type mass spectrometer mass spectrometer Instrument that measure the massess and relative concentrations of atoms and molecules meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. mooring mooring use as an observation type 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.

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.
