weather buoyNOAA Chesapeake Bay Office has a redesigned and reinvigorated website for its Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System—www.buoybay.noaa.gov. In addition to a fresh new look, the site features streamlined navigation and offers users the often-requested ability to bookmark individual buoys’ data pages (so you can quickly get to info from the buoy closest to you, for example). The data download and graphing sections have been revamped, giving you more options for exploring CBIBS data.

The site now includes a frequently updated Buoy News area to keep the community CBIBS visitors up to date on the system, as well as a Featured User section that will highlight how people around the watershed use information from CBIBS. The old www.buoybay.org will still work for a while; it will soon send visitors to the new address.

Also, for smartphone users...iPhone users can now get buoy data in a flash by using the Smart Buoys app available in the iTunes Store. The app was developed in partnership with our friends at the Chesapeake Conservancy. (An app for Android users is also available; both apps are free.)

For the latest updates on CBIBS, you can follow the buoys on Facebook by being a fan of the CBIBS page.
