Description
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has plans for the deployment of several Environmental Buoys (EBs) to measure significant meteorological and oceanographic parameters. Such data obtained from a buoy placed off the coast of Cape Kennedy would be extremely useful for the scientific and operational meteorological community. This report describes some of the local applications an EB would have. It presents a brief view of some of the present and future programs which would benefit from this ocean surface data.
