The data is predominantly long time series at fixed moorings and buoys with a variety of instruments including CTDs, fluorometers, oxygen sensors, optical turbidity sensors, pH sensors, and water quality sensors. The data files are in netCDF format, following the Climate and Forecast metadata convention (CF) and the Attribute Convention for Data Discovery (ACDD). Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), which assembles data from sub-regional coastal and ocean observing systems, submitted the data to NCEI as part of the Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers (IOOS DACs) Data Stewardship Program. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis. Data provided by PacIOOS (http://pacioos.org) which is part of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and are funded in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) award #NA11NOS0120039 and NSF EPSCoR award #EPS-0903833. onGoing 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:IOOS-PacIOOS Preview graphic PNG 0161523 0208370 0208388 0209162 0225979 0226059 0277748 0277749 0277750 0277751 0277752 0277753 0277754 0277755 0277756 0277757 0277758 0277759 0277760 0277761 0277762 0277763 0277764 0277765 0277766 0277767 0277768 0277769 0277770 0277771 0277772 0277773 0277774 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2023-04-18 publication AIR TEMPERATURE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE CHLOROPHYLL CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - OBSERVATION DISSOLVED OXYGEN HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE INCOMING SOLAR RADIATION OXYGEN - PERCENT SATURATION pH PRECIPITATION AMOUNT PRECIPITATION RATE RELATIVE HUMIDITY SALINITY SHORTWAVE IRRADIANCE turbidity WATER TEMPERATURE WIND DIRECTION WIND GUST WIND SPEED theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS anemometer AWS barometer conductivity sensor CTD fluorometer humidity sensor meteorological sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor optical backscatter sensor oxygen sensor PAR Sensor pH sensor pyranometer rain gauge temperature probe temperature sensor turbidity sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological chemical meteorological physical time series theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS FIXED PLATFORM OF UNITED STATES platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Integrated Ocean Observing System Data Assembly Centers Data Stewardship Program project NODC PROJECT NAMES THESAURUS Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Kaneohe Bay North Pacific Ocean Philippine Sea South Pacific Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication IOOS > Integrated Ocean Observing System, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce PacIOOS > Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System UHI/SOEST/HIMB > Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 23 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 anemometer anemometer measures wind speed An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. Note that an aerovane (insttypes_id 175) is an anemometer which has a tail and a propeller to measure the speed and direction of the wind. AWS AWS Automated Weather Station An Automatic weather station (AWS) is an automated type of traditional weather station that either enables measurements from remote areas or saves human labor. barometer barometer Barometers are instruments for measuring atmospheric pressure; two types include mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. 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. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer humidity sensor humidity sensor HUMIDITY SENSORS are devices that receive a signal or stimulus (as heat or pressure or light or motion etc.) and responds to it, in this case humidity or some measure of the water vapor content of air. meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. 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). optical backscatter sensor optical backscatter sensor optical sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations The OBS is an optical sensor for measuring turbidity and suspended solids concentrations by detecting infra-red light scattered from suspended matter. The response of the OBS sensors strongly depends on the size, composition and shape of the suspended particles. [https://www.coastalwiki.org/wiki/Optical_backscatter_point_sensor_(OBS), accessed 2023-09-11] oxygen sensor oxygen sensor Any instrument that measures oxygen content in a compound. PAR Sensor PAR Sensor Photosynthetically Active Radiation Sensor The PAR sensor measures global solar radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which approximates the spectral band active in photosynthesis. The response of the instrument falls sharply to zero on either side of this band, and between 400 and 670 nm it increases monotonically from about 50% to 100%. There is no protective glass dome over the receiving surface. Irradiance from the sun passes through a small white visible bandpass filter/diffuser in the shape of a horizontal disk at the top of the instrument. Within the instrument radiation is directed through a series of colored glass filters and onto a silicon photodiode detector. The factory-supplied calibration converts the signal from the detector to a flux of photons in micro-mole (of photons) s-1 m-2. (One micro-mole equals 6.022 E17 photons.) For the solar spectrum, these units may be converted to watts per square meter by dividing by 4.6. (http://www.srrb.noaa.gov/instrument/par.htm) pH sensor pH sensor generic meter used to measure pH Any of a class of instruments used to quantify pH in a water or other type of sample. pyranometer pyranometer Instrument that measure solar radiation. rain gauge rain gauge A device to measure the amount of liquid precipitation The definition of liquid precipitation is any form of water falling from the sky as rain. Rain gauge measures the amount of liquid precipitation. temperature probe temperature probe For example, OMEGA temperature probe PR-11-2-100-1/8-6-e Vaisala HUMICAP® Humidity and Temperature Probe HMP155 temperature sensor temperature sensor A sensor used to measure temperature. turbidity sensor turbidity sensor Measures the turbidity of water Turbidity sensors measure the amount of light that is scattered by suspended solids in a liquid, such as water. When the concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS) in a liquid increase, the turbidity also increases.
