Ocean buoys are highly automated, unmanned, and advanced remote-sensing systems designed for observing and transmitting marine meteorological and hydrological data. They are capable of continuously collecting essential data over long periods to support deep-sea scientific research, offshore oil exploration, and port construction.
These buoys measure atmospheric parameters-such as wind, air pressure, temperature, humidity, and visibility-as well as hydrological parameters, including waves, currents, water temperature, and salinity. They also monitor water quality indicators such as pH, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, and even nutrient levels, demonstrating a broad measurement capability. Furthermore, ocean buoys serve a wide range of scientific purposes. They are indispensable tools for scientists seeking to understand atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns and various marine phenomena; consequently, there is an urgent demand for such buoys in both open-ocean and coastal waters.
