Now part of the California State University Center for Integrative Coastal Observation, Research and Education (CICORE) program the site is part of a State-wide integrated effort to monitor coastal and estuarine water quality. Sampled parameters include: Water Temperature(degC), Conductivity(S/m), Water Pressure(dBar), Turbidity(Volt), Chlorophyll Fluorescence(Volt), Transmissivity(%), PAR(umol/m2/s), Salinity(PSS), Density(kg/m3) The purpose of these data are to provide scientists and regulators the water quality data needed to address environmental issues related to the California coastal region. In addition, real time unrestricted access to these data have additional benefits to commerce and the public. The water quality data are posted in real time. Five day archives of the data are posted live on the SF-BEAMS web site for immediate viewing and retrieval. Archived data, also accessible on the web site, are archived as monthly files for the current year and annual files for previous years. The sensors, SeaBird CTDs and mated auxiliary instruments, are calibrated annually at the manufacturers facility. In addition instruments are rotated when data issues arise.Instrumentation: Instrument[Model: SBE 16plus SEACAT, Operating Mode: Moored, pumped, delay before sampling = 10.0 seconds, Sample Interval: 360 seconds], Sensors: Temperature[Model: SBE 16plus], Conductivity[Model: SBE 16plus], Pressure[Strain Gauge, Model: 30dBar/44psia], Transmissometer[Model: WETLabs Cestar - 25cm], Irradience (PAR)[Model: Biospherical QSP-200PD], SCUFA (Flourometer and Turbidometer)[Model: SCUFA II (2000-007)] 20080630000027 currentcurrent ground condition CompleteContinually Single point in San Francisco Bay ca. 200 meters offshore from the Romberg Tiburon Center, 500 meters southeast of Point Chauncey.

The sensors are in a fixed position lashed to a pier. Therefore, positional accuracy depends on the accuracy of the GPS instrument being used. 1.0GPS reading accurate to 1 meter half meter vertical accuracy 0.50.5 m is best guess Data were sampled by the CTD every 5 minutes and stored on a computer acting as a logger.
