National Data Buoy Center (NDBC)

The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) is an agency within NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) that provides comprehensive, reliable systems and marine observations (buoy, C-MAN, ship, and drifting buoy) to support the missions of the NWS and NOAA. The U.S. Coast Guard, a critically important partner to NDBC, supplies transportation for buoy deployments, retrievals, and other maintenance.
