	NDBC - Dial-A-Buoy
		Wind and wave measurements taken within the last hour at buoy and coastal weather stations operated by NDBC and a growing number of Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) partners can be heard using a cell phone.
		Buoy reports include wind direction, speed, gust, significant wave height, swell and wind-wave heights and periods, air temperature, water temperature, and sea level pressure.
		For Internet users, maps showing buoy locations are given at http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/.

	Buoy Data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The NOAA deep water buoys, also sometimes referred to as NOMADs, such as those placed around the Hawaiian islands, are anchored in deep water often as deep as 15,000 feet.
		The buoy has instruments that measure wind speed and direction, air and water temperatures, atmospheric pressure, and wave height and period.
		The buoy is able to sort out these waves into their respective frequencies or periods while the human observer, especially on a moving ship, will have a much more difficult time putting a number on the estimate of the dominant period.

		Recorders and a transmitter inside the tube are involved in the daily transmission of data to an overhead NOAA Polar orbiting satellite pass.
		This is done by lifting the buoy from the horseshoe into the water from the starboard side of the ship.
		Buoy retrieval and deployment is the business of the Ka'imimoana, and the dedicated officers, crew and scientists engage in this all through each and every year.

	Air Droppable RAMS (ADRAMS) Buoy
		Previously-developed Arctic data buoys were not suitable because their installations would have required a crew to land on the ice, an operation too hazardous for the dark of winter.
		The buoy hull had to be water tight in the event that a melt pond should form around the buoy during the summer.
		The pressure sensor used in the buoy was a quartz beam which oscillates at a resonant frequency dependent primarily on the pressure and to a lesser extent on the temperature.

	IPAB Antarctic Drifting Buoy Data
		Atmospheric pressure measurements from a small drifting buoy in the open ocean are difficult to obtain due to natural atmospheric pressure variation, wind interaction with the sensor, sensor error, sensor calibration and long-term drift, telemetry bit errors, and other factors (DBCP 1995).
		The accuracy of buoy positions depends on the oscillator stability of the buoy transmitter, the geometry of the NOAA satellite pass for ARGOS Doppler locations or the GPS constellation (for buoys with GPS receivers), the movement of the buoy, and inaccuracies of the satellite orbit ephemeris.
		The parameters measured by the buoys are averaged onboard the buoys to minimize errors resulting from buoy motion and environmental variability (DBCP 1995).

		Buoys will be buoys--he lives for a "Ship-Coming." When a ship does come, he flashes his light and proudly rings his bell, whispering, "Stay to the west" to shield the ship from danger.
		Buoy also saves a family adrift during a storm, makes music with his friends, analyzes the Green Flash that occurs just before sunset, plays games with the Clouds, and engages in debates with his Sea-dwelling friends.
		In 16 short chapters, Buoy expresses his love of the sea in all of its moods, his wonder at the beauty of the sky, and his warm feelings for his friends.

	Buoy makes simple Java UI programming a snap
		The native Buoy set of events is fairly rich and allows you to send events from any widget to any other objects, picking and choosing the events you care about.
		Buoy adheres to the famous old UNIX philosophy: 10 percent of the work solves 90 percent of the problem.
		Buoy does not try to be all things to all people, but it will do the majority of the work an interface user or designer needs right out of the box.

	BBC NEWS \| South Asia \| Tsunami buoy laid in Indian ocean
		The buoy is being placed between Thailand and Sri Lanka, two of the countries worst-hit by the 2004 tsunami which killed more than 200,000 people.
		The buoy, provided by the US, is able to detect sudden increases in pressure deep under the sea and give coastal communities early warning of a tsunami.
		It is hoped that eventually a network of 24 buoys will extend to Indonesia and Australia, along the deep and unstable fault-line that caused the 2004 earthquake.

	Buoy Locations
		The NOAA Marine Environmental Buoy Database (NODC File 291) is one of the largest and most frequently used data archives maintained by the NODC.
		The data are collected from NDBC moored buoys and from C-MAN (Coastal-Marine Automated Network) stations located on piers, offshore towers, lighthouses, and beaches.
		The "new" buoy id's are treated like all other buoys in that they have their own inventory pages.

	Buoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A buoy is a floating device that can have many different purposes, which determine whether the buoy is anchored (stationary) or allowed to drift.
		Submarine communication buoy - to be released in case of emergencies or for communication
		a marker buoy used in naval warfare, particularly anti-submarine warfare, is a light-emitting or smoke-emitting, or both, marker using some kind of pyrotechnic to provide the flare and smoke.

	Coastal Monitoring Buoy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This buoy was the first over-water data buoy to collect and report data in the lake.
		The buoy supplied wind and water data to aid in the development of a system to predict beach closures and to guide county health officials in water sampling strategies.
		The buoy is capable of reporting: wind direction, wind speed, current direction, current speed, air temperature, water temperature, wave height, and wave period.

	Buoy Markers, Navigation and Waterway Boating Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Aids to navigation found on federal waters, commonly known as buoys or channel markers, are designed, built and maintained by the United States Coast Guard.
		While some Aids to Navigation are buoys, many others may be day markers, ranges, or many other types of marks that provide the boating public with a "sense of direction" while on the water.
		Typical information and regulatory white markers and or buoys with an orange boarder, diamond, circle, or square can be used to provide information or regulations such as a no wake zone or a shoal area.

	Buoy Field
		The placement of the Buoys in the Buoy Field was determined by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency and only an Act of God can change the field regardless of the depth of the Lake.
		The Buoys were sold to PineWild Residents and are considered to be personal property that consists of an anchor block, a tethering chain and a floating buoy.
		Each Buoy Owner is responsible for the boat on the respective Buoy and for any damage caused to other boats should the boat break away from the Buoy.

	Decompression buoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deco buoys are inflated underwater before or during the ascent phase of the dive.
		A reel and line connect the buoy on the surface to the diver beneath the surface.
		For example, in Europe, a red buoy indicates normal decompression and a yellow buoy indicates a problem, such as shortage of gas, that the surface support should investigate and resolve.
