moored buoys  

DEFINITION

  • Moored buoys are normally relatively large and expensive platforms. They can vary from a few meters in height and breadth, to over 12 meters. Measurements from the mooring include surface variables (wind, air and sea surface temperature, salinity, air pressure), as well as subsurface temperatures down to a depth of 500 plus meters. Data are usually collected through satellites, transmitted in real-time and shared on the GTS of WMO. As they are recording so many measurements, the moorings often store more data on-board than they send in real time, so when a moored buoy is recovered, processing and analysis of the data is performed at the buoy owner's data center.
