CREWS Enhanced buoys are equipped to measure water temperature and salinity at 1 m (nominal) below the water line (Seabird Model SBE37); air temperature (R.M Young Model 41342); barometric pressure (Heise DXD); wind vectors (Vaisala WAS425A); PAR, UV305 nm, UV330 nm, UV380 nm measured at 2 m (nominal) above the water line (Biosherical BIC2104R); PAR, UV305 nm, UV330 nm, UV380 nm measured at 1 m (nominal) below the water line (Biosherical BIC2104U). A compass (KVH C100 SE-25) is used in the calculation of wind direction and a GPS system provides geolocation. Contact Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED), NOAA Pacific IslandFisheries Service Center for additional details and/or datasets. Purpose: Monitoring of oceanographic and meteorologic conditons provides information about environmental factors influencing coral reef ecosystems.
