Buoy, as deployed near the South Bay San Diego ocean outfall.

your data needs.
The schematic illustrates how this small form-factor buoy gets its
light-weight description. Even so, the buoy still manages to
serve two purposes as a currents profiler and CTD sensor.
Measurements are telemetered back hourly via Iridium satellite, while
buoy drift is monitored via onboard GPS.
