The storm season has been unusually intense this year, with multiple major storm tracks including a bomb cyclone generating a historical pressure drop and 13 m waves. This has been particularly hard on our in-situ assets off the coast. One of the two Quileute Tribe’s Backyard Buoys Spotter buoys went adrift on 20 November. Fortunately, the Canadian Coast Guard Cutter Sir Wilfred Grenfel was able to recover the buoy six days later off the coast of Vancouver Island and it has been retrieved. We are indebted to the Canadian Coast Guards for their role in helping us recover valuable assets affected by storm action.
