Shoreline Observations

The Bodega Ocean Observing Node continuously monitors meteorological and oceanographic conditions on the Bodega Marine Reserve and adjacent coastal waters. This automated data acquisition system was first deployed in 1988 and has been expanded several times to measure additional parameters and apply new technologies. Funding for these enhancements has come from the National Science Foundation, the Sonoma County Water Agency, and the University of California. The resulting data sets describe the climatological context for all field studies at the site and are a central element of many research and resource management programs. Meteorological sensors measure wind, air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, solar and photosynthetically-active radiation, and rainfall. Oceanographic sensors measure seawater temperature and salinity.
