The PacIOOS wave buoy off Arno (CDIP #282; NDBC #52216) measures water temperature at approximately 5 miles (4.3 nmi or 8 km) north of Pikareej Islet on the northernmost point of Arno Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). 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 Government of Japan, through the Enhancing Disaster and Climate Resilience (EDCR) project, provided the initial funding to purchase and deploy the Arno buoy. The EDCR was implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Majuro Weather Service Office (WSO) and PacIOOS (with additional funding support from U.S. IOOS and the U.S. Department of State). 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.
