The purpose of this document is to bring together pertinent information concerning the NOAA TOGA-TAO buoy array so that a decision can be made for the following questions: (1) Are the scientific gains from an array of short-wave radiation sensors in the equatorial Pacific Ocean sufficiently impelling that DOE/ARM should provide financial and material support to NOAA/PMEL to install and operate this array? (2) What scientists and/or scientific studies would directly benefit from such a data set? (3) What should that array look like? That is, what sub-set of buoys should be so implemented given the per-buoy cost of the implementation?
