Description:The National Data Buoy Office (NDBO) has deployed environmental data buoys to provide synoptic data for weather reports and for scientific data archives since 1972. The present data acquisition and telemetry electronics has evolved from a quest for the most accurate and reliable equipment that could be obtained at realistic costs. This report describes the 4 types of moored buoy payloads, 3 types of drifting buoy payloads, the 4 custom-designed buoy payloads, and the sensor requirements for the meteorological and oceanographic sensors. Data flow, including data requirements and system implementation, for these systems is also described.
