Bonavista Bay Buoy

A 1.7 m. meteorological / oceanographic buoy supplied by Axys Technologies of Sidney, British Columbia is located of the Cape of Bonavista, in approximately 75 metres of water. The buoy provides near-real time data in support of vessel operations in this area.\n\nThe buoy is capable of measuring a variety of atmospheric and water column conditions including: wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, dew point, barometric pressure, water temperature, current profile, wave height, direction and period as well as wave spectral information.\n\nApproximate Position\nLatitude: 48\u00b0 41' 48.50" N\nLongitude: 53\u00b0 43' 06.00" W\nApproximate Water Depth\n60m (197 feet)\nData Start Date\nJune 21, 2017\n\nSensor Height Relative to Sea Surface\nAnemometer: 4.2m\nAir Temp. / Humidity: 3.5m\nBarometer: 0.5m\nSea Surface Temp.: -0.5m\nAcoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP):\n-2.0m to -42.0m at 2.0m spacing
