    The National Data Buoy Development Program (NDBDP), created in 1967, was placed under the control of the USCG. In 1970, NOAA was formed and the NOAA Data Buoy Office (NDBO) was created within the National Ocean Service (NOS) and located in Mississippi. In 1982, the NDBO was renamed NDBC and was placed under NOAA's NWS.

    Weather Buoy / Data Buoy / Oceanographic Buoy operated by the Marine Data Service. The first known proposal for surface weather observations at sea occurred in connection with aviation in August 1927, when Grover Loening stated that "weather stations along the ocean coupled with the development of the seaplane to have an equally long range, would result in regular ocean flights within ten years."

  5. Coastal-Marine Automated Network - Wikipedia

    The Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) is a meteorological observation network along the coastal United States. Consisting of about sixty stations installed on lighthouses, at capes and beaches, on near shore islands, and on offshore platforms, the stations record atmospheric pressure, wind direction, speed and gust, and air temperature; however, some C-MAN stations are designed to also ...

    The "Null Island" buoy in 2017. The Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Atlantic (PIRATA) [note 1] is a system of moored observation buoys in the tropical Atlantic Ocean which collect meteorological and oceanographic data. The data collected by the PIRATA array helps scientists to better understand climatic events in the Tropical ...

    The spectrographs record the light signals, and a computer stores the measurement data. The communications system aboard MOBY daily transmits much of the light measurement data to operators on shore. [2] There is one Marine Optical Buoy operating in the water, and another in maintenance on shore. Every 3 to 4 months, a team exchanges the two buoys.

    SVP buoy fitted with a barometer (photo by DBi) The drifters are deployed from research vessels, volunteer ships, and through air deployment. [5] They typically transmit their data hourly and had an average lifetime of ~485 days in 2001. [5] Presently, enough data is gathered to observe currents at a horizontal resolution of one degree (~100 km ...
