title: Meteorological and Oceanographic Data Collected from the National Data Buoy Center's Coastal Marine Automated Network and Weather Buoys
summary: The Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) was established by NDBC for the NWS in the early 1980's. Approximately 50 stations make up the C-MAN and have been installed on lighthouses, at capes and beaches, on near shore islands, and on offshore platforms. Over 100 moored weather buoys have been deployed in U.S. coastal and offshore waters. C-MAN and weather buoy data typically include barometric pressure, wind direction, speed and gust, and air temperature; however, some C-MAN stations are equipped to also measure sea water temperature, waves, and relative humidity. Weather buoys also measure wave energy spectra from which significant wave height, dominant wave period, and average wave period are derived. The direction of wave propagation is also measured on many moored weather buoys.
