Ponce

CariCOOS buoys undergoing yearly maintenance

Users of CariCOOS buoy data will find that data is unavailable during this month. All three data buoys (PR1 - Ponce, PR2 - San Juan and VI1 – St. John, USVI) will be removed from the water, refurbished and re-deployed during the course of the month. Personnel from the Physical Oceanography Group at the University of Maine, our prime buoy partner, will travel to the region to work on the buoys. Meanwhile, as of May 7, 2012 Commercial Diver Inc., our buoy contractor has commenced removal of the buoys. CariCOOS is aware of the needs for buoy data and every effort will be made to reduce buoy downtime.

Sensor Information (this deployment only)


Latest Conditions:

If we have deployed just recently, then a plot may not be available. "Recent" plots are available within a few hours, and "Deployment" and "Historical" plots within a day. There may be a gap in the historical data for the previous deployment. The gap is filled as soon as post recovery operations are complete.

We follow the convention that depth is measure positive "down". That's why parameters like wind speed have negative depths attached to them! The latest eastward and northward subsurface currents are displayed at a subset of available depths; no plots are presently available for current velocity vectors below 2m.
