Note for Phase 6:
On June 19, 2012, JAMSTEC deployed the sixth surface buoy JKEO6 at JKEO site (37-54.07' N, 146-36.54' E, 5380 m) during the R/V Mirai MR12-02 cruise. The design of JKEO6 buoy is almost same with JKEO5 buoy of which detail is available in the Technical Information page of this web site. 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 June 26, 2012 (WMO Buoy No. 21210).

The daily average and hourly meteorological and oceanic data transmitted from JKEO6 buoy system are publicly available in this web page together with spot values of buoy location fixed opportunistically by ARGOS.

1) Since August 14, no data has been transmitted from the buoy.
