CeNCOOS in situ water quality monitoring at Humboldt Bay Pier

Oxygen Inorganic Carbon Particulate matter Sea Surface Salinity Sea Surface Temperature Ocean surface heat flux Phytoplankton biomass and diversity

The Humboldt shore station is located on the Chevron dock and is maintained by Humboldt State University. This station has been active since November 2012 and is the replacement system of the previous water quality station at Dock B. In August 2015 PAR and Solar Radiation sensors were added to the instrumentation suite. These nearshore sensors are part of the Central and Norther California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS). They measure various water quality parameters at fixed points along the California coast.
