The fiberglass buoy floats on the surface of the ocean once instrumented and deployed.
A newly instrumented TAO buoy awaits deployment at 8°N, 125°W. This subsurface thermistor will measure temperature 1 meter below the water surface. The bridle of the TAO buoy holds a thermistor that will be submerged below the Pacific Ocean waters.

 

Note for educators: The TAO/TRITON array continues to collect data and the Ka'imimoana continues to maintain the array. Please use the TAO web site, in conjunction with this web site, the lesson plans, daily logs, the videos, and the photos to educate your students about climate, El Niño, and scientific research in general.

Consider this web site, as well as the EPIC web site, a resource for teaching your students.

Many organizations and countries are involved in supporting the
TAO/TRITON Array in the Equatorial Pacific.
