About Central Long Island Sound Buoy

The Central Long Island Sound buoy is part of the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) network. It records wind speed, atmospheric pressure, and marine weather conditions for vessels operating near Connecticut. These observations help vessel routing, harbor operations, and coastal weather forecasting around Connecticut.

Operations are handled by a U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) regional partner, supporting coastal navigation, ecosystem health, and science.

Data Applications

  • Mariners: Monitor wind speed, gusts, and barometric trends to select safe weather windows.
  • Harbor & port teams: Track local sea-state and atmospheric pressure to support traffic management and pilot operations.
  • Meteorologists: Feed coastal forecast models and validate marine weather advisories with real-time observations.
  • Researchers: Analyze climate signals, air-sea fluxes, and coastal weather variability for long-term studies.
