Two connected buoys (Bourake Control and Bourake Front) financed by the Aqualink Foundation were deployed in Bouraké Bay in New Caledonia in July 2022. They allow to know the surface temperature of the water and the bottom of the lagoon in real time thanks to a satellite link.

Data are available on données ReefTEMPS portal (daily update) on platforms :

BOURAKE01 - surface temperature at Bourake front site

BOURAKE02 - bottom temperature at Bourake front site

BOURAKE03 - surface temperature at Bourake front control

BOURAKE04 - bottom temperature at Bourake front control

ReefTEMPS is a network of sensors of temperature, pressure, salinity and other observables in the coastal domain of the South, West and South West Pacific, operated by UMR ENTROPIE. ReefTEMPS is a National Observation Service (SNO) part of the French research infrastructure "littoral and coastal environments" IR ILICO.

Created in 2016, the Coastal Research Infrastructure (ILICO) aims to observe and understand coastal and marine environments and ecosystems in their entirety. Thus, ILICO brings together a set of observation devices to collect samples and deploy various measuring instruments by federating 8 observation services, known as "elementary networks" that are: COAST HF, CORAIL, DYNALIT, MOOSE, PHYTOBS, ReefTEMPS, SOMLIT and SONEL.
