Information is provided on the data-acquisition systems, networks, monitoring capabilities, data processing and dissemination, data quality and availability and related technology development for these platforms.Abstract:
Platforms of the National Data Buoy Center provide vital meteorological and oceanographic observations from data-sparse marine areas worldwide. The data are essential for real-time weather forecasting and research programs. This paper provides information on the data-acquisition systems, networks, monitoring capabilities, data processing and dissemination, data quality and availability and related technology development for these platforms.read more

Evaluation of Wind Vectors Observed by QuikSCAT/SeaWinds Using Ocean Buoy Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds satellite data were validated by comparing with wind and wave data from ocean buoys, and the effects of oceanographic and atmospheric environment on scatterometer measurements were also assessed using the buoy data.

Joint Calibration of Multiplatform Altimeter Measurements of Wind Speed and Wave Height over the Past 20 Years
TL;DR: In this article, a long-term analysis of the accuracy and stability of the wave height and wind speed derived from the following satellites: European Remote Sensing-1 (ERS-1), ERS-2, Environmental Satellite (Envisat), Geosat, GFO, Jason-1, and the Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX).
Book
An introduction to ocean remote sensing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of microwave imagers and their application in oceanographic satellite systems, from 2003 to 2019, with a focus on ocean surface temperature (SST) observations.

Bulk Parameterization of Air-Sea Exchanges of Heat and Water Vapor Including the Molecular Constraints at the Interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed for the marine atmospheric surface layer including the interfacial sublayers on both sides of the air-sea interface where molecular constraints on transports are important.

A Field Evaluation of NDBC Moored Buoy Winds
TL;DR: In this article, a field intercomparisons of buoy winds were conducted to investigate the quality of the observations, and the differences between dual anemometers on the same buoy were calculated during tropical cyclones.

The National Hurricane Center—Past, Present, and Future
TL;DR: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is one of three national centers operated by the National Weather Service (NWS) and has national and international responsibilities for the North Atlantic and eastern North Pacific tropical and subtropical belts (including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea) for tropical analyses, marine and aviation forecasts, and the tropical cyclone forecast and warning programs for the region as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of differences between environmental reports by ships in the voluntary observing program and measurements from NOAA buoys
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared four years of weather observations from ships in the World Meteorological Organization Voluntary Observing Program (WOMOP) with common parameters measured simultaneously by NOAA moored buoys when ships were within 100 km of buoy stations.

Examples of, reasons for, and consequences of the poor quality of wind data from ships for the marine boundary layer: Implications for remote sensing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare ship reports with buoy reports and comparing reports of different kinds of ships with each other, identifying many different reasons for the poor quality of wind data from ships.
