The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System redeployed its wave buoy outside of Tanapag, Saipan, more than seven months after it broke free from its mooring during Super Typhoon Yutu in October 2018.
After a Pacific Island Ocean Observing System buoy had drifted 920 statute miles offshore, the U.S. Coast Guard made a recovery rescue and brought it safely back to Guam.
The buoy west of Kalaeloa Harbor on Oʻahu's leeward side provides real-time information on wave height, wave direction wave period and sea surface temperature.
Currents data, along with wave information, will help to enhance marine safety, navigation and harbor operations on Oʻahu’s south shore.
PacIOOS redeploys wave buoy outside of Ritidian Point to measure wave height, direction, temperature and more.
