Flower Garden Banks Joint Industry Project

Sponsor: J. Connor Consulting, Houston TX

Brief Description:  This program operates two data buoys near the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary at Sites N and V. The buoys measure winds, air temperature and humidity, atmospheric pressure, conductivity, and surface currents and report the data in near real time though the Texas Automated Buoy System.
