These buoys gather the following data:

• Wind Speed in m/s measured at the sensor altitude
• Wind Direction (true)
• Wind at 10 - Wind Speed in m/s adjusted from the sensor to 10m altitude
• Wind at 20 - Wind Speed in m/s adjusted from the sensor to 20m altitude
• Pressure - Atmospheric pressure in hecto-Pascals (numerically equivalent to millibars)
• Air Temperature in degrees centigrade
• Dew Temperature in degrees centigrade
• Sea Temperature in degrees centigrade
• Relative Humidity in percent
