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.

The 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.

Approximate Position Latitude: 48° 41' 48.50" N Longitude: 53° 43' 06.00" W Approximate Water Depth 60m (197 feet) Data Start Date June 21, 2017

Sensor Height Relative to Sea Surface Anemometer: 4.2m Air Temp. / Humidity: 3.5m Barometer: 0.5m Sea Surface Temp.: -0.5m Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP): -2.0m to -42.0m at 2.0m spacing
