PacIOOS Wave Buoy 273: King-Poloa, Tutuila, American Samoa

Wave buoy 273 measures wave height, wave direction, wave period, water temperature, air temperature, and surface currents at Poloa, Tutuila, approximately 2.5 miles (4 km) northwest of Legaotaema Point and Cape Taputapu offshore of Poloa Bay and Poloa Village Marine Protected Area at the western end of Tutuila Island in American Samoa. Wave data are transmitted every half hour. Surface currents data are transmitted every 10 minutes. Water and air temperature data are transmitted every 5 minutes. Moored in water 54 meters deep, this Datawell Directional Waverider DRW4 buoy is equipped with three accelerometers measuring north/south, east/west, and vertical displacements, allowing it to measure both wave direction and wave energy. This buoy also uses an acoustic current meter (ACM) to measure the speed and direction of ocean currents at approximately 1 meter below the surface. The water temperature sensor is located at the base of the 0.9 meter spherical buoy, approximately 45 cm or 18 inches below the ocean surface. A compact air temperature (CAT4) sensor is attached to the antenna at approximately 2 meters above the ocean surface. Wave buoys are useful tools for forecasting local waves and are used by recreational and professional ocean users alike. PacIOOS and partners collaborated with the family of the late Christopher J. King to name this wave buoy in honor of the contributions he bestowed upon the siting of this buoy, and more importantly, upon the people of American Samoa.

Supporting Information for Impact of Water Quality and Operational Factors on Microcystin Removal by PAC

This data set contains supporting information for an article titled: Impact of Water Quality and Operational Factors on Microcystin Removal by Powdered Activated Carbon.  This article was published in AWWA Water Science.

The article abstract is as follows:
The feasibility of using a 26-1 fractional factorial design to screen  the relative importance of six water quality and operational factors in the removal of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) by PAC was evaluated through jar testing.  The factors were: PAC type, PAC dose, TOC concentration, turbidity, alum dose, and timing of PAC versus coagulant application.  Follow-up tests were  performed to examine the interaction of PAC dose and TOC concentrations.  All  MC-LR analyses were performed by ELISA and LC/MS/MS.  The top three effect magnitudes were the same by ELISA and LC/MS/MS:  PAC dose > PAC type > PAC application time.  Correlation coefficients between removals estimated by ELISA and LC/MS/MS were > 0.9 (p << 0.05).  With both methods, the effects of PAC type and dose were found to be markedly larger than the other factors.  The follow-up tests indicated a greater impact of PAC dose at higher NOM concentrations. Factorial designs are not commonly used to plan drinking water jar test experiments.  The results generated in this study were plausible with respect to the existing body of adsorption knowledge, thus helping to demonstrate the feasibility of the factorial approach.

Environmental Antecedents of Foodborne Illness Outbreaks

Foodborne outbreak investigations often provide data for public health officials to determine how the environment contributed to the outbreak and on how to prevent future outbreaks. State and local health departments are responsible for investigating foodborne illness outbreaks in their jurisdictions and reporting the data to national-level surveillance systems, including information from the environmental assessment. This assessment is designed to describe how the environment contributed to the outbreak and identifies factors that contributed to the outbreak and environmental antecedents to the outbreak. Environmental antecedents, also referred to as root causes, are specific reasons that allow biological or chemical agents to contaminate, survive, or grow in food. From 2017 – 2019, 24 jurisdictions reported 1,430 antecedents from 393 outbreaks to the National Environmental Assessments Reporting System. The most reported antecedents were lack of oversight of employees/enforcement of policies (89.1%), lack of training of employees on specific processes (74.0%), and lack of a food safety culture/attitude towards food safety (57.5%). These findings highlight the critical role that employees play in restaurant food safety and are heavily influenced by restaurant management, who can exercise active managerial control to manage these antecedents. Identifying antecedents during investigations is essential for understanding the outbreak’s root cause and implementing sustainable corrective actions to stop the immediate outbreak and future outbreaks.
