Frequently Asked QuestionsAt what heights are the sensors located on moored buoys?Meteorological sensors are normally located at the ten meter level for the 10-meter and the 12-meter discus buoys and are at a nominal height of five meters for the 3-meter discus buoys and the 6-meter NOMAD buoys. However, barometers are located inside the hull at the water level. Sea surface temperature sensors are located at a depth of 1.5 meters for 10-m and 12-m buoys and at 1 meter for all 3-m and 6-m moored buoys. Further information on buoy hull types is available.
