Abstract
The PacIOOS wave buoy off Kalaeloa Barbers Point (CDIP #238; NDBC #51212) measures air temperature approximately 1.7 miles (2.75 km) offshore of Kalaeloa Harbor on the leeward (western) coast 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.
The Kalaeloa Barbers Point wave buoy is owned and managed by PacIOOS. 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.
