Apr 27, 2022 · The system is managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CBIBS "Smart Buoys" are loaded with sensors to collect a range of meteorological, physical, water quality, water level, chemical, biological, optical, and acoustic measurements. The information is relayed in near-real time from the buoys using wireless technology.
Sep 9, 2019 · The Global Monitoring Division of NOAA’s Earth System Research Lab collects worldwide, long-term and real-time data on atmospheric chemicals including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and many others. A wide variety of measurements and plot types are available for carbon cycle gases, solar radiation, ozone, aerosols, and more.

NOAA’s biophysical mooring site 2—nicknamed “Peggy”—is one tough buoy. Since 1995, Peggy has been taking year-round measurements of temperature, salt content, nitrate, chlorophyll and currents in the remote Bering Sea. Data collected by Peggy has been used by scientists to study the cold pool and loss of sea ice in the Bering Sea, a region that sup...
The ocean absorbs about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) that is released in the atmosphere, and as that CO2 is absorbed, it changes the pH of the ocean. Ocean acidificationposes a big risk to marine life — as waters become more acidic, corals have a harder time building their skeletons, oysters and other shellfish have a harder time building...
Buoys aren’t just for the ocean! NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Laboratory (GLERL) deploys buoys on the Great Lakes every spring. These 16 Real-Time Coastal Observation Network (ReCON) buoys gather a range of atmospheric and water data in the Great Lakes, including wave height, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and water temperature. Data collected by...
Monsoons are seasonal shifts in wind that can cause heavy rain or droughts in regions from the tropics to the United States. A third of the world population depends on monsoon-driven rainfall for producing crops, so being able to understand and predict monsoons is critical to these populations — especially populations in India, which is primarily i...
DART buoys are critical tools in the effort to provide tsunami warnings to coastal communities. NOAA supportstwo centers —the National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu, Hawaii—that provide forecasts and warnings of these large, dangerous waves. DART buoys are located strategically througho...
Real-Time Observations. Mariners rely on real-time marine weather and oceanographic observations to provide current conditions for waters they are navigating or plan to navigate. These observations are also used by weather forecasters in preparation of marine weather forecasts and warnings. They help generate surface-weather analysis and are ...
