Most often BUOYS float on the surface of the ocean. Typically, BUOYS are divided into two categories: drifting and moored buoys. Moored BUOYS are floats fixed in water to mark a location, warn ofdanger, or indicate a navigational channel. They can also takescientific measurements of the water including temperature andwater quality measurements.Drifting BUOYS are exclusively scientific platforms that drift along the surface of the ocean following the ocean currents and/or the surface winds depending on their configuration. Along the trajectory, they collect oceanographic or meteorological data.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: BUOYS Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: In Situ Ocean-based Platforms Platform_Series_or_Entity: BUOYS Short_Name: BUOYS End_GroupEnd_Group 2016-06-09 14:33:02.0
