The CenGOOS 3-m discus buoy serves as a platform for a NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) Moored Autonomous pCO2 (MAPCO2®) system. Cruises are conducted on an approximately quarterly basis to take water samples for analyses to validate the MAPCO2 measurements. Water samples for DIC and Total Alkalinity and pH are sent to Wei-Jun Cai's lab at the University of Delaware for analyses. Collect profile data and water samples to verify the MAPCO2 data and maintenance and repair for MAPCO2 system.
