Oceanographic buoy

An oceanographic buoy is a floating device used to collect data about the ocean's conditions. These buoys measure various factors such as temperature, salinity, wave height, and currents. They often have instruments that transmit real-time information to researchers, helping them understand weather patterns, climate change, and marine ecosystems. Positioned in strategic locations, oceanographic buoys contribute valuable information for navigation, weather forecasting, and oceanographic research, enhancing our knowledge of the world's oceans.
