CBIBS buoys collect the following data: wind/meteorological (wind speed and direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity); GPS (horizontal position); near-surface water quality (water temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, Chlorophyll A, turbidity); wave height (significant and maximum), direction, and period. In the future, CBIBS will explore adding: passive acoustics (fish tags); nutrient sensors (as they develop); above/below water optics for satellite validation; GSP (vertical position for water levels); and subsurface water quality.
