Station IDC14 Latitude28° 18.66' N
Station TypeOffshore Buoy Longitude 83° 18.36' W
Responsible AgencyUSF

Site Notes Buoy is located at 28° 18.360' N (28.306 N), 83° 17.908' W (83.398 W)
offshore of Hudson in a water depth of 21 meters. Data is hourly transmitted via the GOES satellite. Site funding is via a cooperative effort between the University of South Florida's/College of Marine Science's COMPS program, the Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance Trust Fund, and the Pasco County Division of Emergency Management. This site became an operational COMPS offshore station on 4/24/2002.
Note!! MCAT, Barometric Pressure,Water Temperature, Winds and shorwave radiation sensors are experiencing some problems and data are not available at this time. Sorry for any incovenience and please check back later.
