The PacIOOS wave buoy off Majuro (CDIP #163; NDBC #52201) measures water temperature approximately 0.6 mile (0.9 km) offshore of Delap Point on the east shore of Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI). Students at the College of the Marshall Islands (CMI) named the buoy “Kalo” after the Marshallese bird that flies only near land. Data are transmitted every half hour. 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 Majuro wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. The National Weather Service (NWS), the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the Climate and Oceans Support Program in the Pacific (COSPPac) of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology provided the initial funding to purchase this buoy. 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.
