Irish Marine Data Buoy Observation Network Real Time Data 2002 — Present

The Irish Marine Data Buoy Observation Network (Weather Buoy Network) is managed by the Marine Institute in collaboration with Met Éireann and the UK Met Office. The Irish Weather Buoy Network is designed to improve weather forecasts and safety at sea around Ireland. The buoy network provides vital data for weather forecasts, shipping bulletins, gale and swell warnings as well as data for general public information and research. Buoy data is also helpful for validating our operational models. Note: The buoy previously stationed at M1 was relocated to M6 at the request of the Met Services. At the M1 station data collection was discontinued in 2007. Please note the weather buoys maybe intermittently inoperative during periods of servicing, or due to severe weather damage, vessel strikes or component failure. Any periods of in operation may result in gaps in the data record depending on the nature of the failure. Real time meteorological and oceanographic data collected from the Irish moored Weather Buoy network of stations. Parameters collected include: DateTime (yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss), Atmospheric Pressure (mbar), Air Temperature (degreeCelsius), DewPoint Temperature (degreeCelsius), Wind Speed (knots), Max Gust Wind Speed (knots), Wind Direction (degreeTrue), Sea Surface Temperature (degreeCelsius), Wave Period (seconds), Wave Height (metres) and Relative Humidity (%). Real time data available for M2, M3, M4, M5 and M6. Historical data available for M1, FS1 and original M4 spatial location. Users of the download service can choose a station, time period, parameter(s) and output file type. Advanced download allows a user define a bounding box area of interest selecting one or more buoys from the network. 'NaN' or '-999' describes missing or unavailable data.爱尔兰海洋浮标观测网络（气象浮标网络）由爱尔兰海洋研究所（Marine Institute）联合爱尔兰气象服务局（Met Éireann）与英国气象局（UK Met Office）共同运营管理。该爱尔兰气象浮标网络旨在提升爱尔兰周边海域的天气预报精度与海上航行安全。本浮标网络可为天气预报、航运公报、大风与涌浪预警提供关键观测数据，同时也可为公众信息发布与科学研究提供数据支撑。此外，浮标观测数据还有助于验证业务运行的数值预报模式。 备注：原部署于M1站点的浮标应气象服务机构要求已迁移至M6站点，M1站点的数据采集工作已于2007年终止。请注意，气象浮标可能会因维护时段、极端天气损毁、船舶碰撞或组件故障而间歇性停运。根据故障类型的不同，停运时段可能会导致数据记录出现缺失。 本数据集涵盖从爱尔兰系泊气象浮标网络各站点采集的实时气象与海洋水文观测数据。采集的参数包括：日期时间（格式为yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.sss）、大气压强（单位：毫巴（mbar））、气温（单位：摄氏度（degreeCelsius））、露点温度（单位：摄氏度（degreeCelsius））、风速（单位：节（knots））、最大阵风风速（单位：节（knots））、风向（单位：真北角度（degreeTrue））、海表温度（单位：摄氏度（degreeCelsius））、海浪周期（单位：秒）、浪高（单位：米）及相对湿度（单位：百分比（%））。 M2、M3、M4、M5及M6站点提供实时数据；M1、FS1及原M4空间位置站点提供历史数据。数据下载服务的用户可自行选择站点、时间范围、所需参数及输出文件格式。高级下载功能支持用户通过定义感兴趣的边界框（bounding box），从网络中选择一个或多个浮标站点。数据集中的缺失值或不可用值以"NaN"或"-999"表示。
