title Hourly moored buoy marine data
description The MSC moored buoy network operates approximately 20-40 moored buoys, varying based on seasonal changes, along the West and East coasts, and inland lakes. These buoys include 3-meter discus buoys along the coasts and both 3 and 1.7-meter Watchkeeper buoys on inland lakes. The network utilizes two types of payloads, namely Watchman100 (WM100) and Watchman500 (WM500), with a transition to the latter since 2021. WM500 payloads offer full-time Iridium data transmission with additional wave and housekeeping elements reported at regular hourly intervals. Buoys with WM100 payloads primarily use satellite telemetry (GOES) for data delivery.
