Alright, so you wanna know about this buoy 46050, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it ain’t nothin’ fancy, just a thingamajig floatin’ out in the water. They call it Stonewall Bank, sounds important, I guess. It’s out there near Newport, about 20 miles west, they say.
Now, what does this buoy do? Well, it tells folks stuff about the ocean. Like how big the waves are. You know, them swells? Yeah, it measures them. And it tells you how often they come, the “period” they call it. Sounds complicated, but it ain’t. Just means how many waves you get in a certain time.
This buoy, 46050, it’s like a little weather snitch. It tells ya the water temperature too. Cold or warm, it knows. And that’s important for them fishermen, I reckon. They need to know if the fish are gonna be happy.
- Wave height
- Swell period
- Water temperature
They got all these numbers and letters, like 44.669 N and 124.546 W. That’s where the buoy is sittin’, they say. Latitude and longitude, somethin’ like that. Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me, but them smart fellas use it to find the thing.
This buoy, it ain’t just sittin’ there doin’ nothin’. It’s always workin’, sendin’ out information. They update it all the time, see? Like, every hour, sometimes more. And folks use that information for all sorts of things.
Fishermen, like I said, they use it. Surfers too, them crazy kids. They wanna know how big the waves are gonna be, so they can go ride ’em. And the weather folks, they use it too. To make their predictions, you know, tell you if it’s gonna rain or shine.
You can even find forecasts for this buoy, 46050. They tell you what the waves are gonna be like in the future. Not just now, but later too. It’s like lookin’ into a crystal ball, but with numbers and science instead of magic.
And if you’re really into this stuff, you can get all the data they collect. They got it in somethin’ called CSV, sounds like a bunch of gibberish to me, but them computer folks, they love it. They can take all that data and make charts and graphs and all sorts of fancy things.
So, this buoy 46050, it’s a pretty important little fella. It helps folks understand the ocean, predict the weather, and catch some fish. And it’s sittin’ out there, day and night, rain or shine, just doin’ its job. Now, ain’t that somethin’? This thing gives reports on air temperature, wind speed, and even barometric pressure, whatever that is. All sorts of things to help you plan your day, whether you’re going fishing or just heading to the beach. It’s like a little helper out there in the big ocean. Always watching, always reporting.
Some places, like MyForecast, they even use this buoy data to give you a detailed weather report. You know, hour by hour, what’s gonna happen. And they can even tell you what the weather will be like for the next 15 days! That’s a long time, I tell ya. And they got ski reports too, though I don’t know why you’d need that from a buoy in the ocean. Maybe for them folks who like to ski on water, I guess.
And if you’re worried about getting stuck at the airport, this buoy can even help with that. They got airport delay forecasts, believe it or not. Seems like this little buoy knows everything about everything. It’s like a little know-it-all, always tellin’ you what’s what.
But at the end of the day, it’s just a buoy. A thing floatin’ in the water. But it’s a mighty useful thing, that’s for sure. So next time you’re at the beach, or listenin’ to the weather report, remember that little buoy 46050, out there near Newport. It’s doin’ its job, keepin’ us all informed about what’s happenin’ out there in the big blue sea.
