This buoy is located in South Korea. Although water temperature appears to fluctuate throughout the time of observation, it maintains an average of about 11.5 degrees Celsius. A significant increase in temperature is present on the 9th of March, cause of temperature increase is unknown. This sudden change in data is apparent throughout other readings that this buoy took on that date.

The data for atmospheric pressure collected by this buoy displays an average pressure of 1020 hPa. A sudden change in data is present on March 9, where the pressure drops about 60 hPa. This change in data is present in all other readings that this buoy took on that date. Again, cause of decrease in atmospheric pressure is unknown. Further investigation may yield answers.

Atmospheric temperature for the area around this buoy maintains a gradual increase from three to eleven degrees Celsius while fluctuating on a day to day basis. Again, a sudden change in data is apparent on the 9th of March. Cause for increase in temperature may be related to the change in water temperature, although true cause is unknown. This pattern has revealed itself throughout the other graphs.

Wind speed data collected by this buoy changes rapidly from each day, though an average can be seen of around six meters per second (m/s). The wind speed peaks twice at twelve meters per second on February 23rd and March 13th. This buoy appears to be experiencing quite blustery conditions in this oceanographic location.

August Urban Buoy Data Graphs – ID# 44066

This buoy is located off the coast of New Jersey, United States. The water temperature for this buoy maintains an average temperature of 6.5 degrees. However, on February 24th, the temperature jumps to 12.5 degrees Celsius, then gradually slopes back down to the average temperature of around 6.5 degrees. Cause for this sudden increase in temperature is unknown. This pattern of a sudden rise is evident elsewhere only in the water temperature data that was collected from this buoy.

Atmospheric pressure for this buoy varies greatly over the period of measurement. It fluctuates from readings of high pressure to lower pressure, varying between 10-20 hPa. The atmospheric pressure appears to peak about five times, first on the 17th of February, then on the 21st, then on the 26th, and twice more on the dates of March 10th and 11th, respectively. Cause for the frequent change in atmospheric pressure is unknown. Perhaps through further investigation an answer will be found.

Atmospheric temperature data for this buoy does not seem to follow a specific pattern. The temperature starts off low at around three degrees Celsius, and then rapidly peaks three times at around eleven degrees over the course of the next ten days. After that, the temperature maintains an average of six to seven degrees. When the month of March begins, the temperature appears to even itself out. Cause for the unexpected oscillation in data is unknown. Perhaps it can be related to the water temperature sudden increase, which occurs on the 24th of February.

The wind speed measured by this buoy varies between each reading. From the 16th

to the 28th of February the data gathered shows a constant change in speed, the highest being 13 m/s in three separate cases. At the start of the month of March, the wind speed decreases in velocity until the 4th, where it regains speed. On the 7th of March, the wind speed jumps to 20 m/s, then drops rapidly, resting at 14, 8 and then 1 m/s. The cause of the abrupt increase in wind velocity is unknown.

At the start of February 16 we have a steadily decreasing slope until we hit February 17. Then we have an increase with some small decreasing in temperature measurement until we reach March 7. From March 7 to March 9 the water temp stays the same at 29.8 Celsius. After March 9 we have a very gradual decrease in water temperature.

At the start of February 16 we have a steady decreasing slope until we hit February 17 at which time the temperature evens out to about 28.2. On February 23 we have a decrease in temp and reaches down to 25.4 Celsius. After that we see the temp go back to an evened out state till March 9. On March 9 we see a sudden drop in temp to 19.3 Celsius. We then see the temp rise to an even state of around 28.3 for the rest of the date.

On this graph we see the wind speed changing every day. On the first day we start out at 6.7 MPH and drop down the next day to 2.6 MPH. We have the lowest wind speed on February 23 at a speed of 1.5 MPH and a top wind speed on February 12 and March 15 both at 6.7 MPH. The wind speed did not seem to correlate with the water temp or the ATMP in any way that I could see.

At the start of February 16 we have a water temp of 3.9 for 2 days and then see an increase in temp. At February 19 we see the water temp leave off at 4.2 Celsius till February 22 where we see a drop then an increase and finally a large drop. This large drop goes till February 27 and reaches 3.6 Celsius before it increasing to a high on March 3 and reaches 4.3 Celsius. After that we see the water temp just going up and down till the end of the date.

We see the PRES staring out at 1015.8 hPa and start to decline till February 17 at 996.7 hPa. We then see an increase in PRES and this pattern continues till about March 4. We see the PRES on March 4 reach 1014.1 hPa and stay around that range till March 6 and then we see a major decrease in PRES. This decrease reaches 966.5 hPa on March 7 and then we see an increase at a high point of 1029.8 hPa on March 12. We then see a decrease and then another increase till then end of our date.

We see a staring temp of .7 Celsius on February 16 and begin on an increase in temp. We see the temp go up and down several times and then after February 24 we see a major decrease in temp. This decrease in temp goes down to -5 Celsius on February 16. This was the lowest temp on this graph and after word we see a rise in temp till March 7 on which we reach the highest temp of 4.7 Celsius. Afterword there is another decrease in temp and rise and then a major decrease in temp on March 15 at a temp of -1.6 Celsius. After word we see the temp go back up till the end of the measurement period.

We see on this graph that the wind speed changes daily and in dramatic ways. We have the lowest wind speed on February 18 and on March 17 at 1 m/s. At the Highest wind speed on February 23 at 17 m/s. At the begging of our date we see that we started at 11 m/s wind speeds and at the end of our Date we end at 2 m/s wind speeds. We can see by the other graph from this buoy that all of them are having effects on each other with spikes on going up and down constantly.
