      Abstract: 
        This buoy operated between June 5, 2008 and February 17, 2021 and was 
        located approximately 300 m (1000 ft) offshore of Magic Island near 
        the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal between Ala Moana Beach Park and 
        Waikiki on the South Shore of Oahu in the State of Hawaii. It was 
        moored in waters 7.5 m (25 ft) deep. Data were recorded every 3 hours 
        and transmitted daily. This Moored Autonomous Partial Pressure of 
        Carbon Dioxide (MAPCO2) buoy was primarily established to monitor 
        ocean acidification, complementing a national array of moored carbon 
        dioxide buoys across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Other 
        important physical parameters were also monitored, including water 
        temperature, salinity, turbidity, chlorophyll, and air pressure. Water 
        quality measurements help provide early indications of potentially 
        polluted run-off from storm drainage, sewage spills, and soil erosion 
        from land-based waterways such as streams and other outflows that lead 
        directly into the ocean. The buoy was primarily funded by NOAA's Ocean 
        Acidification Program and supported by NOAA's Pacific Marine 
        Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). The University of Hawaii at Manoa 
        supported the maintenance of the buoy and instrumentation. Data are 
        managed by PMEL at the NOAA Western Regional Center in Seattle, 
        Washington. PMEL enables data streaming into the PacIOOS website for 
        visualization purposes only: the near real-time data have not been 
        post-calibrated or quality controlled and are therefore not of the 
        climate quality that PMEL is required to achieve. Only post-calibrated 
        and quality-controlled data should be used for scientific publications 
        and are available for download separately at the NOAA Ocean Carbon 
        Data System (OCADS) website in a delayed-mode capacity.
      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 mission of NOAA's Pacific Marine 
        Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Carbon Program is to advance 
        scientific understanding of the ocean carbon cycle and how it is 
        changing over time in support of NOAA's commitment to improve the 
        Nation's ability to anticipate and respond to climate impacts and to 
        conserve and manage healthy oceans, coastal ecosystems, and marine 
        resources. This research includes documenting the evolving state of 
        the ocean carbon chemistry with high quality measurements, studying 
        the processes controlling the role of the ocean in the global carbon 
        cycle, and investigating how rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change 
        affect the chemistry of the oceans and its marine ecosystems.

            Data are managed by NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory 
            (PMEL) at the NOAA Western Regional Center in Seattle, Washington. 
            PMEL enables data streaming into the PacIOOS website for 
            visualization purposes only: the near real-time data have not been 
            post-calibrated or quality controlled and are therefore not of the 
            climate quality that PMEL is required to achieve. Only 
            post-calibrated and quality-controlled data should be used for 
            scientific publications and are available for download separately 
            at the NOAA Ocean Carbon Data System (OCADS) website in a 
            delayed-mode capacity.
