Click the "DATA" button in the table below to pop open the data in a new window with the following header:
BuoyID, Year, Hour, Min, DOY, POS_DOY,Lat,Lon, (BP),(Ts),(Ta)

DOY = the day of the year to the decimal minute (1.0 to 365.999) of the reported data
POS_DOY = the day of the year to the decimal minute of the reported position
BP = Barometric Pressure, if available
Ts = Surface Temperature if available
Ta = Air Temperature if available


Buoy Plan
The buoys listed below were deployed with the wooden boats that were painted at the
Pacific Science Center in Feb. of 2020. Information about which boats were deployed with
each buoy, and maps showing the tracks of these buoys will be available here as well.

Here's a KML to view the buoy tracks in Google Earth:

Float Your Boat Interactive Map
The colored boats in the plot below represent the current location of the drifting wooden boats.
An "X" over a boat indicates that the buoy deployed with the boats is no longer reporting.

Click on a boat to get the current conditions at the site:
BP = Barometric Pressure
Ts = Surface Temperature
Ta = Air Temperature
Click the boat again to close the info box.

The dots indicate where the wooden boats were deployed.
Click on a dot for an image showing more information about the deployment. Click the image to return to the map view.
