Deployment of PacIOOS<\/abbr> wave buoy off Aunuʻu<\/span>, American Sāmoa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS<\/abbr>)<\/a> deployed a new wave buoy in the waters off Aunuʻu<\/span>, American Sāmoa, on October 23, 2014. The bright yellow buoy is located more than three miles offshore and streams data on ocean and wave conditions.<\/p>\n

The buoy joins the existing PacIOOS<\/abbr> network of 13 real-time wave buoys<\/a> across the Pacific, providing data on wave height, direction, period and sea surface temperature. PacIOOS<\/abbr> also redeployed wave buoys in Hilo Bay, Hawaiʻi<\/span> and Kaumalapau Harbor, L\u0101naʻi<\/span>, after they cut loose a few months ago.<\/p>\n
