Water Quality Data

Water quality data are collected from a nearshore and an offshore station. YSI 6600 v2-4 multi-parameter water quality sondes are used for measuring temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity data every 30 minutes at a depth of approximately 1m. This data is available since February 2010.

The YSI 6600 V2-4 water quality sondes measure water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and specific conductance at 30 minute intervals. Water quality data is available from two locations:

• Jumeirah Open Beach Nearshore Buoy
• Palm Deira Offshore Buoy
