The National Data Buoy Center's home page. The premier source of meteorological and oceanographic measurements for the marine environment.

Sea marks aid pilotage by marking a maritime channel, hazard or administrative area to allow boats and ships to navigate safely. Some are fitted with wave-activated bells or gongs. Wreck buoys mark a wrecked ship to warn other ships to keep away because of unseen hazards. Light buoys provide demarcation at night.

This database holds wind, wave, and other marine data collected by the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). The data are collected from NDBC moored buoys and from C-MAN (Coastal-Marine Automated Network) stations located on …

The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) provides quality observations in the marine environment to support the understanding and predictions of changes in weather, climate, oceans, and coast. The NDBC compiles coastal and offshore weather observations from NOAA fixed and drifting data buoys and C-MAN stations.

2024年11月4日 · Maintain a global 5° x 5° gridded array of ~1,300 satellite-tracked surface drifting buoys to meet the need for an accurate and globally dense set of in-situ observations of mixed layer currents, sea surface temperature, atmospheric pressure, winds, waves, and salinity.

2024年12月1日 · Wireless communication enabled buoy prototype was developed. LoRaWAN protocol is used as a communication gateway. Buoys are implemented for meteorological data monitoring. These Buoys are deployed in the marine protected area …

2021年6月2日 · There are currently 50 of these buoys worldwide, each of which is deployed either over a coral reef, in the open ocean, or in a coastal region. These buoys gather long-term data on carbon dioxide in the ocean, allowing scientists to track how ocean acidification is progressing in different regions.

NDBC has also deployed over 100 moored (a.k.a., weather) buoys in coastal and offshore waters from the western Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, and from the Bering Sea to the South Pacific.

2016年6月27日 · To obtain this longer view, ocean scientists and engineers often deploy moored instruments or buoys. An oceanographic mooring consists of a long line or cable with an anchor at one end, a float at the other, and instruments attached to …

2025年2月25日 · Learn about local and global sea level change, how data is collected, future predictions and more. Search by city, state, and region to explore sea level rise, flooding, and major points. Interactive map | Numerical data | Graph/figure | Modeled/predicted
