Many buoys have a subsurface suite of sensors as well.
Processing the data for all of theses parameters is done on board the buoy using the ZENO -3200 data acquisition system. Below are summaries for the four major categories of systems that Coastal supplies. The 3 Meter Discus Buoy is the largest buoy in our fleet of data monitoring buoys. It can be boarded for routine maintenance and replacement of sensors or other parts. The buoy is extremely rugged, but still easily disassembled for shipping.
