About 10N 170W Buoy

The 10N 170W 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 Hawaii. These observations help vessel routing, harbor operations, and coastal weather forecasting around Hawaii.

It is part of the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array that monitors equatorial Pacific conditions used in El Niño and La Niña forecasting.

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.
