Results for tag: "Weather Buoy"

Weather buoys are sensors used to measure and monitor weather conditions in the ocean. They are typically deployed in coastal areas and measure parameters such as air temperature, wind speed, wave height, and barometric pressure. Weather buoys are used to provide real-time data for forecasting, research, and safety purposes. They are also used to detect and monitor oceanic phenomena such as hurricanes, typhoons, and El Niño events. Weather buoys are typically equipped with a variety of sensors, including anemometers, thermometers, barometers, and wave height sensors. They are also equipped with GPS receivers and satellite communication systems, allowing them to transmit data to shore-based receivers. Weather buoys are manufactured by a variety of companies, including Teledyne Marine, SonTek, Nortek, and RBR. These companies specialize in the design and manufacture of oceanographic and meteorological instrumentation. They offer a range of weather buoys, from basic models to more advanced systems with multiple sensors and communication capabilities. Show Less Read more
