NDBC Buoys
The National Oceanographic Data Center serves as the long-term
archive and distribution hub of these types of data sets. The NDBC buoy
data are available on
CDROMs for historic data or through the
NODC
Online Data Server for more recent data that have not made it on
to the CDROM set. The archive is inclusive of all
NDBC C-Man and open water buoys, which have been maintained primary in
the continental USA coastal waters. The data are stored as ASCII in
NODC file format F291 which includes extensive spectral information.
The NODC Hawaii Liaison provides access to buoys in Hawaiian waters
in the reduced
Air-Sea Parameters format, which excludes the spectral data.
