Quote: I'm been watching, just not much to add. I did notice that the buoy drop "recon" flight was flying around most of the morning around 20N 83W.
Does anyone know if that buoy data will be publicly available? I couldn't find any reference to it, other than others' remarks about the POTD that mentioned it.

It's my understanding that the buoys aren't necessarily for wind measurements but are more for water measurements, specifically water temperature and the depth of the warmest water. I could be wrong, however. I'm guessing that basic meteorological data will also come from them, but I tend to think that direct public access will be fairly limited.
