The Central Gulf of Mexico Ocean Observing System (CenGOOS)> station CenGOOS-01 was initially established in December of 2004 with funding by the Office of Naval Research, with subsequent funding through NOAA. The buoy has survived two hurricanes (Katrina in 2005 and Gustav in 2008), and although damaged, was repaired and redeployed each time. The 3 m discus buoy USM3m02, with the NOAA MAPCO2 instrument package, was deployed at station CenGOOS-01 on April 30, 2009 from the R/V Tommy Munro.
