Bodega Head Offshore Buoy Observations
Bodega Marine Laboratory has operated an oceanographic buoy immediately offshore from the lab in 30 m water since December 2009. Data collected from the surface include temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, dissolved oxygen, and current speed and direction.
-Offline, buoy replacement pending, Summer 2024-

Tomales Bay Buoy
This oceanographic buoy is deployed in Tomales Bay, south of Hog Island. It is a cooperative project between the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory, Point Reyes National Seashore (PRNS/NPS), and the National Marine Sanctuaries (NMS/NOAA). Data may include: wind, ocean current speed and direction, salinity, temperature, chlorophyll fluorescence, turbidity, pH, and CO2.
-Currently no real-time data-
