Expansion of the Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System18/03/2008 |
| AXYS Technologies Inc (AXYS) has delivered another ‘Smart' buoy to NOAA for deployment in the Chesapeake Bay. This expands NOAA's Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) network to four operational buoys. |
|
These Smart buoys form the core components of CBIBS as well as support the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail. The first deployment of 3 buoys occurred in April 2007. The new buoy is expected to be deployed this spring. CBIBS is operated by the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office in Annapolis (MD, USA).
The new AXYS WatchKeeper buoy provides the buoy platform. A TRIAXYS Directional Wave sensor, a Wetlabs/SeaBird water quality sensor, a Nortek Current Profiler and other instrumentation including wind, air temperature and pressure sensors will eventually be integrated into the platform. A Watchman500 payload provides the control system for the buoy. Read more about: NOAA CurrentWebsite: http://www.buoybay.org Supplier: AXYS Technologies Inc.
