Overview
Drifting buoys are deployed in bodies of water (both frozen and solid) to help scientists measure meteorological and oceanographic parameters. They float or “drift” via the ocean’s sub-surface current and are usually equipped with numerous sensors that transmit collected data wirelessly to collection centers. The buoys are owned and operated by various organizations, and as a result, come in a variety of shapes and sizes.
