The Backyard Buoys mobile app is a free, easy-to-use tool that allows you to access real-time oceanographic data from buoys located in the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. The app will be available for both iOS and Android devices soon.
If you have a Sofar Spotter or Smart Mooring deployed in a Backyard Buoys region and wish to share your data to support safety at sea for Backyard Buoys communities, please follow these steps. Thank you!
Our portals offer real-time scientific data, including sensor feeds, oceanographic and atmospheric models, satellite observations, GIS datasets, enhanced charting, data comparison, highlighted views, detailed metadata, and shareable custom views.
