For people living on Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall - TopicsExpress



          

For people living on Majuro Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), if the ocean swell is too high, the safety of fishermen transiting out of the lagoon to open waters is threatened, homes and businesses may be flooded with seawater, roadways may become impassable, and even the runway strip at the airport may be rendered useless for large commercial aircraft. On 10 July 2014, the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) collaborated with partners to deploy a new Datawell Directional Waverider buoy named “Kalo” about one mile off the eastern shore of Majuro to provide a data stream of wave height, wave direction, wave period, and sea surface temperature every 30 minutes.
