SCCOOS Moorings

Sensors mounted directly to the buoy measure meteorological variables, near surface temperature, salinity, oxygen and chlorophyll concentrations, and the current throughout the water column. Further down the mooring wire 10m above the bottom another sensor package records temperature, salinity, oxygen, and chlorophyll. All data are telemetered to shore every hour, communication with the deep instruments happens inductively through the mooring wire.
