Moored surface buoys network

The Portuguese moored surface buoys network is part of the operational integrated monitoring system. It has contributions from Instituto Hidrográfico (IH), the University of Azores and the Administration of Madeira Ports. Coastal buoys are located at 100 meters depth and offshore buoys are launched in depths greater than 1000 m. All stations are equipped with wave and sea temperature sensors and a GPS device that allows the monitoring of the location of the buoys.

The offshore buoys have also meteorological and environmental sensors. The sampling rate is between 30 and 60 minutes. The availability of data from insular buoys is dependent on agreement from APRAM and UAC.

Statement

The Portuguese moored surface buoys network, started in the 80?s with Datawell buoys. Initially the acquisition was made by non-directional buoys and in 1986 was launched at Faro the first directional one which provides the height, direction and period of the waves and sea surface temperature.

In 2009 was installed the first offshore buoy from Oceanor, at Nazare. The multiparametric stations provides waves, meteorological and environmental parameters. The buoys network has 15 stations: at Portugal mainland, there are 3 coastal buoys and 4 meteo-oceanographic buoys operated by IH. At Azores Archipelago there are 6 coastal buoys managed by UAC and at Madeira Archipelago there are 2 coastal buoys operated by APRAM.
