These stations include two components: the Integrated Sensor Suite (ISS) which houses and manages the external sensor array, and a console which provides the user interface, data display, A/D conversion in the ISS, calculations and interface to the external network. The stations are NIST-certified and are used around the globe by both amateurs and professional meteorologists. The units are installed at elevations of approximately 30 feet and are solar powered and operate over a temperature range of -40 to +65C (40 to +150F). Updates are provided in seconds or minutes depending on the sensor. The following outputs are available: (Temperature, Humidity, Dew Point, Wind, High Temperature, Low Temperature, Wind Driection, High Wind Speed, High Wind Direction, Wind Chill, Heat Index, Thaw Index, Barometric Pressure, Rain, Rain Rate).47.51837 -52.8045147.51837 -52.804512007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateThe weather stations are Davis Instruments Vantage Pro2 integrated units (With UV Sensor).

The buoy is capable of measuring a variety of atmospheric and surface conditions including, wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, dew point, barometric pressure, water temperature, salinity, current speed, current direction, wave height, wave direction and wave period.36 -12136 -1212007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateThe SmartBay buoy inventory includes two CoastMinder water quality buoys built by Satlantic Inc. of Halifax, Nova Scotia. These units are located off Come by Chance Point on the northeastern side of the Bay and off Rushoon on the western side. The two buoys have a common water quality instrumentation package and meteorological station however the buoy at Come by Chance has been modified to accommodate a bottom mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) providing both current profile and directional wave information. The addition of the ADCP was made possible through a contribution from Newfoundland and Labrador Refining Corporation.47.789445 -54.04547.789445 -54.0452007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateReports various sensor observations36.82 -122.7547.273888888889 -53.8408333333332007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateReports various sensor observations47.918611111111 -53.94972222222247.918611111111 -53.9497222222222007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateAIS receivers are model SR 162 units manufactured by True Heading. Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a shipboard broadcast system that acts like a transponder, operating in the VHF maritime band, that is capable of handling well over 4,500 reports per minute and updates as often as every two seconds. It uses Self-Organizing Time Division Multiple Access (SOTDMA) technology to meet this high broadcast rate and ensure reliable ship-to-ship operation. On board an AIS equipped ship, position and timing information is normally derived from an integral or external global navigation satellite system (e.g. GPS) receiver, including a medium frequency differential GNSS receiver for precise position in coastal and inland waters. Other information broadcast by the AIS, if available, is electronically obtained from shipboard equipment through standard marine data connections. Heading information and course and speed over ground would normally be provided by all AIS-equipped ships. Other information, such as rate of turn, angle of heel, pitch and roll, and destination and ETA could also be provided The SR 162 uses the standard NMEA 0183 protocol and information transmitted from vessels fitted with AIS Transponders includes name, call sign, position, heading, speed, destination, type and size of vessel. The GPS position information and speed can be used to determine maneuvering information, closest point of approach (CPA), time to closest point of approach (TCPA) and other navigation information. Tracks of ships can also be archived and then plotted at a later time.36.6 -122.0947.51837 -52.804512007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateA TRIAXYS Wave Buoy Developed in conjunction with the Canadian Hydraulics Centre of the National Research Council of Canada, the TRIAXYS Directional Wave Buoy is a precision instrument incorporating new technologies that make it an easy to use, rugged, and economical buoy for accurate measurement of directional waves47.3233333333 -54.131666666747.3233333333 -54.13166666672007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateGPS receivers are model Earthmate GPS LT-20, a high-performance, easy-to-use link to the satellite navigation technology of the Global Positioning System (GPS).47.51837 -52.8045147.51837 -52.804512007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplateReports various sensor observations000 000000 0002007-05-18T15:19:39.000Zapplication/com-xmlDataValueTypeObservationTypeinlineresultTemplate
