The PacIOOS wave buoy near the entrance to Pearl Harbor (CDIP #233; NDBC #51211) measures air temperature within Māmala Bay approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) offshore of Pearl Harbor and approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) offshore of Honolulu International Airport along the South Shore of Oʻahu in the State of Hawaiʻi. Data are transmitted every 5 minutes. This Datawell Directional Waverider DRW4 buoy uses a compact air temperature (CAT4) sensor attached to the antenna at approximately 2 meters above the ocean surface. Although the buoy was first deployed in 2017, the CAT4 sensor was not added until January 2022.

The Pearl Harbor wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. The Hawaiʻi Natural Energy Institute (HNEI) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa provided the initial support to purchase this buoy with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). 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.
