Meteorological and Oceanographic Observations in the Coastal Gulf of Mexico

Station USM3M01

3-meter discus buoy
30.04 °N 88.65 °W

Site elevation:  sea level
Anemometer height:  5 m above site elevation
Air temp height:  4 m above site elevation
Barometer elevation:  4 m above site elevation
Humidity elevation:  4 m above site elevation
Water depth:  20 m
Watch circle radius:  70 m
We are experiencing difficulties with our satellite telemetry links. When weather permits a maintenance/repair cruise to the buoy will be scheduled.
