ODAS buoy fit out and deployment with Cefas Payload
The Irish Marine Weather
Buoy Network is a joint project designed to improve weather
forecasts and safety at sea around Ireland. The buoy network
provides vital data for weather forecasts, shipping bulletins, gale
and swell warnings as well as data for general public information
and research. The project is the result of a long term
collaboration between the Marine Institute, MetEireann, The UK Met
Office and the Irish Department of Transport. More about the
project and real time data are available on www.marine.ie/databuoy.
A combined effort from staff at Cefas and the Marine Institute are temporarily re-fitting a spareODAS (UK Met designed Ocean data Acquisition System) deep field weather buoy to carry an alternative payload to go on trial at the M1 location. If judged successful this could then lead to the addition of a robust source of data adding an important element to the growing suite of data contributing to the Western Shelf observatory.
