The buoy is located at the Pilot Boarding Station for Placentia Bay in about 153 m. water depth. This buoy's purpose is to monitor surface conditions at the Pilot Boarding Station in support of safer and more efficient pilot and tanker operations.The buoy is capable of measuring a variety of atmospheric and surface conditions including: wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, dew point, barometric pressure, water temperature, current speed and direction (0.5 m. depth), wave height, direction and period as well as wave spectral information. The buoy is also equipped with an Aids to Navigation Information System (ATONiS) allowing direct transmittal of the buoy data to a ship's bridge.Data from the buoy is available in near-real time and is utilized by SmartBay partner AMEC Earth and Environmental to generate custom weather and sea-state forecasts for Placentia Bay as well as the site-specific forecasts for this location in support of safer and more efficient pilot and tanker operations. une bou\u00e9e m\u00e9t\u00e9orologique et oc\u00e9anographique de 3 m. de diam\u00e8tre construite par AXYS Environmental Technologies de Sidney, en Colombie-Britannique. La bou\u00e9e est situ\u00e9e au poste d'embarquement pilote de la baie Placentia, \u00e0 environ 153 m. de profondeur d'eau. Cette bou\u00e9e a pour but de surveiller les conditions de surface \u00e0 la station d'embarquement des pilotes afin de favoriser des op\u00e9rations plus s\u00e9curitaires et plus efficaces des pilotes et des navires-citernes. La bou\u00e9e est capable de mesurer diverses conditions atmosph\u00e9riques et de surface, y compris la vitesse et la direction du vent, la temp\u00e9rature de l'air, l'humidit\u00e9, le point de ros\u00e9e la pression barom\u00e9trique, la temp\u00e9rature de l'eau, la vitesse et la direction du courant (0,5 m de profondeur), la hauteur, la direction et la p\u00e9riode des vagues ainsi que l'information spectrale des vagues. La bou\u00e9e est \u00e9galement munie d'un syst\u00e8me d'information sur les aides \u00e0 la navigation (AtonIS) qui permet la transmission directe des donn\u00e9es sur les bou\u00e9es au pont d'un navire.Les donn\u00e9es de la bou\u00e9e sont disponibles en temps quasi r\u00e9el et sont utilis\u00e9es par AMEC EC Earth and Environmental, partenaire de SmartBay, pour g\u00e9n\u00e9rer des pr\u00e9visions m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques et de l'\u00e9tat de la mer personnalis\u00e9es pour les Placentia Bay ainsi que les pr\u00e9visions propres au site pour cet emplacement \u00e0 l'appui d'op\u00e9rations plus s\u00e9curitaires et plus efficaces des pilotes et des navires-citernes. oceans true -54.12220833333333 -54.12220833333333 47.31837666666667 47.31837666666667 2010-07-06T19:55:00Z 2026-01-23T08:57:00Z asNeeded average level surface waves timestamp air wind dew point Atmospheric Winds meteorology wave_ht_max marine Surface Winds surfaceCurrents air_dewpoint_avg institute spread seaSurfaceTemperature dew pilot wave Sea Level Pressure static oceans swells wave_spread_avg surface humidity name air_humidity_avg sig point Atmosphere wind_spd_max Earth Science curr_spd_avg air_pressure_avg dewpoint Ocean Waves ocean station_name Oceans measurements Wave Speed-Direction Atmospheric Pressure Measurements Swells surface_temp_avg wave_dir_avg pressure wind_from_direction wind_dir_avg currents wave_period_max temperature period data Atmospheric Pressure direction sea curr atmosphere seaSurfaceHeight identifier air_temp_avg sea_surface_wave_to_direction max Wave Period sea_surface_swell_wave_period dir waves Static Pressure spd swell winds curr_dir_avg wave_ht_sig wind_spd_avg station atmospheric time speed air_pressure surfaceCurrents seaSurfaceHeight seaSurfaceTemperature GCMD Science Keywords SmartAtlantic project Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 CC-BY-4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ https://www.smartatlantic.ca/erddap/tabledap/SMA_red_island_shoal order ERDDAP Data Subset Form ERDDAP's version of the OPeNDAP .html web page for this dataset.
