Abstract
PacIOOS has partnered with NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) to provide real-time data from thirteen buoys across the Pacific Ocean. These buoys measure the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere and ocean which in turn provides valuable information to monitor ocean acidification.
On the map, click on a buoy for further details of that particular buoy and carbon dioxide measurements. There are five buoys located in and around the Hawaiian Islands, therefore, zooming into this location would be beneficial for better investigation.
