As a result of Hurricane
Katrina, the Buoy, C-MAN, Ship, and Drifting Buoy Observations
via www.ndbc.noaa.gov are
unavailable.
The National Data Buoy Center
has been evacuated and communications lines remain down. The
extent of damage to the facilities and equipment is not fully
known at the present time.
Buoy and C-MAN data is
available at NOAA's Forecast Systems Laboratory http://www-frd.fsl.noaa.gov/mesonet/
and on the webpages of several coastal Weather Forecast Offices http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/marine_map.htm
as an alternative.
As additional information on
the status of the NDBC site becomes available, they will make
updates to this page.
