Buoy Observations
Entry ID:
gov.noaa.ncdc.C00173
Summary
Abstract:
Buoy Observations is historical buoy data archived at the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC). These surface marine observations from automatic buoy stations are archived on microfiche at the NCDC. C-MAN (Coastal Marine Automated Network) station data typically include barometric pressure, wind direction, speed and gust, and air temperature; however, some C-MAN stations are designed to also measure sea water temperature, water level, waves, relative humidity, precipitation, and visibility.
Purpose: To make a wide range of climatic data available to researchers and the public. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: manuscript CURRENTNESS REFERENCE: Ground Condition
