2. Weather buoy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_buoy

   On June 13, 2006, drifting buoy 26028 ended its long-term data collection of sea surface temperature after transmitting for 10 years, 4 months, and 16 days, which is the longest known data collection time for any drifting buoy. [12] The first weather buoy in the Southern Ocean was deployed by the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS) on ...

   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.

4. 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 ...

   All of these (except weather, visibility and cloud-related meteorological elements) are observed automatically. At unstaffed stations, observations are performed every 10 minutes. About 700 of the unstaffed stations observe precipitation, air temperature, wind direction and speed, and sunshine duration, while the other stations observe only ...

   They consist of a surface float, a tether, and a drogue. The surface float contains a battery, instruments that collect data like temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and ocean salinity, and a transmitter that relays the position of the drifting buoy and data collected by the instruments on the surface float to satellites.
