The PacIOOS wave buoy off Yap (CDIP #272; NDBC #52214) measures water temperature approximately 1.25 miles (2 km) offshore of the northernmost barrier reef and approximately 3 miles (5 km) north of Rumung Island, the northernmost island of the Yap island group in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Data are transmitted every 5 minutes. The temperature sensor is located at the base of the 0.9 meter spherical buoy, approximately 45 cm or 18 inches below the ocean surface.

The Yap wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. 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 the Yap Fishing Authority (YFA) and the National Weather Service Office in Yap (WSO Yap). Data are managed by the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Long-term partnerships between PacIOOS, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and CDIP enable data streaming into the PacIOOS website and PacIOOS Voyager.
