July 2010: The CarICOOS oceanographic data buoy PR2 (List List B) has been deployed 0n 23 July at 1410 GMT off the north coast of Puerto Rico near San Juan at a depth of 110 feet. Real-time data provided by this buoy will include wind measurements, air temperature, atmospheric pressure, wave information, near-surface water temperature and salinity observations, and ocean currents throughout the water column. This buoy is supported by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Ocean Observigng System (IOOS) office.

June 2009: The CarICOOS oceanographic data buoy PR1 (Light List A) has been deployed on 9 June 2009 at 1340 GMT by University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez and University of Maine personnel. It is installed on the south coast of Puerto Rico, in the vicinity of the port of Ponce, at a site 2 nautical miles south of Caja de Muertos Island at a depth of 55 feet. Real-time data provided by this buoy will include wind measurements, air temperature, atmospheric pressure, wave information, near-surface water temperature and salinity observations, and ocean currents throughout the water column. This buoy is supported by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) office.
