      Abstract: 
        Wave buoy 276 measures wave height, wave direction, wave period, water 
        temperature, air temperature, and surface currents at Utwe, Kosrae, 
        approximately 1.2 miles (2 km) offshore of Foko Mosral (Mosral Point), 
        the southernmost point in the Malem municipality on the island of 
        Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). About 2 mi (3 km) 
        west of Foko Mosral along the southern coast at the mouth of Finkol 
        River lies Utwe Ma (Utwe Village), the capital of adjacent Utwe (or 
        Utwa) municipality. 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 570 
        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.
      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.

        The Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) is funded through 
        the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a 
        Regional Association within the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System 
        (IOOS). PacIOOS is coordinated by the University of Hawaii School of 
        Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). The U.S. Department of 
        State provided the initial funding to purchase and deploy the buoy 
        through an award to PacIOOS via U.S. IOOS. Other key partners include 
        Kosrae's Division of Fisheries and Marine Resources and Kosrae's 
        Disaster Coordinating Officer. Data are managed and distributed by the 
        Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP).
