Subject: Relocation of National Data Buoy Center buoy
41002 on or about November 1, 2011
On or about November 1, 2011, the National Data Buoy Center
(NDBC) will relocate buoy 41002 to approximately 32.0 N and
75.0 W. The new location will be 30 nautical miles southeast of
its current position at 32.3 N and 75.5 W. The buoy frequently
goes adrift due to its proximity to the Gulf Stream making its
data unavailable. The buoy last went adrift on May 2, 2010, and
was recovered on May 12, 2010, but has not been able to report
data in that time. The proposed new location is further from the
Gulf Stream and thus will alleviate the problem of the buoy
going adrift and return it to normal data reporting.
Further information on buoy 41002 can be found at:

If you have any questions or comments on buoy 41002, please
