Note for Phase 5:
On February 23, 2011, JAMSTEC deployed the fifth surface buoy JKEO5 at JKEO site (38-05.06' N, 146-26.87' E) during the R/V Mirai MR11-02 cruise. The design of JKEO5 buoy is a little modified from JKEO4 buoy with adding sensors of barometric pressure, precipitation, and two acoustic current meters. MIO of JAMSTEC had set a CO2 measurement system on JKEO5 buoy.
The meteorological data has been provided to institutions for weather forecast and re-analysis numerical model calculation through GTS since February 24, 2011 (WMO Buoy No. 21210). On August 16, 2012, the sensors for wind, relative humidity and long-wave radiation were replaced by new ones. On June 23, 2012, JKEO5 buoy system was recovered

 

The ASCII formatted high resolution (10 min interval) meteorological data retrieved from the data logger, and their daily and hourly means are publicly available in this web page together with spot values of buoy location fixed opportunistically by ARGOS and the noon positions derived from them. The ASCII formatted high resolution (10 min interval) and hourly oceanic data retrieved from the instruments equipped at recovered JKEO5 buoy are publicly available in this web page together with daily means of hourly data. It should be noticed that the OceanSITES NetCDF formatted oceanic data are in preparation.

 

1)    Since 00 UTC on February 26, 2011, the long wave radiation data were wrong.

2)    Since 07 UTC on March 7, 2011, the current meter data (U, V, T) at 125 m depth indicated sometime zero value.

3)    Since 13 UTC on March 12, 2011, the current meter data (U, V, T) at 10 m depth indicated sometime zero value.

4)    Since 00 UTC on March 13, 2011, the wind direction data were wrong,

5)    Since 22 UTC on May 7, 2011, the Relative Humidity data were wrong.

6)    On August 16, the sensors for wind, relative humidity and long-wave radiation were replaced by new ones, and began again transmitting good quality data.

7)    Since October 14, sea surface salinity data were wrong.

8)    Since November 15, the wind data are being missed.

9)    Since November 28, seasurface temperature and salinity are being missed.

10) Since February 9, the wind sensor began again transmitting the data of which quality is uncertain.

11) No data was transmitted after March 19.

12) Buoy was recovered on June 23, 2012, and no data was found to be stored in the data logger after March 19.
