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.
The organization was created by merging the three existing NOAA National Data Centers with the goal of streamlining the collection and preservation of environmental data. The merger, which came in response to increasing demand for environmental information, was intended to make NOAA's data more useful through the application of consistent data ...
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 ...
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."
In June 2022, a NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries team conducted maritime archaeological assessments at 11 shipwreck sites and sonar mapping at 13 sites and collected 6k video and virtual reality footage to collect data in support of resource monitoring, mooring buoy, and education and outreach programs in the sanctuary.
A marine optical system (MOS), a power system, and batteries occupy the instrument canister. The MOS includes spectrographs with charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors, an optical multiplexer, and fiber optic sensor lines to the light collectors. [1] MOBY has a tether to another buoy that is moored to the sea floor at a depth of about 1200 meters.
