NOAA Weather Station. Approx. 50 Nautical Miles off Shore
Aug 18, 2018 17:00:25 #
For those of you who wonder how we get our off shore weather reports. This is anchored and sends reports via satellite. It's solar and wind powered and reports on water temp., wave size, atmospheric pressure, etc... A very tough little unit, as it is pummeled by fairly violent storms.

Thank you very much. We'll never know how many lives they have saved. Just by people listening to their weather reports and saying "I think I'll stay on shore today." Gary

For my 4 years in the Coast Guard I performed these duties in the mid-Atalanic ocean stations which we manned aboard the high endurance cutters for a month at a time. Never saw much of the coast!
