Disclaimer: These realtime data are considered provisional. Data obtained from the buoy are sent to via satellite to a receiving modem at the University of South Carolina. Data are then processed automatically for viewing on the Web. At no point have the data been reviewed or edited and thus errors from the buoy can and will be displayed online. Errors can occur due to a variety of reasons including biological fouling or physical damage to the sensors. Data are considered provisional and should not be cited. Data are reviewed and checked for accuracy and are available upon request.
