NODC Buoy Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.123

Summary
This dataset contains data from the NOAA Marine Environmental Buoy Database
(NODC File 291). It contains wind, wave, and other marine data collected by
the NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC). The data are collected frrom NDBC
moored buoys and from C-MAN (Coastal-Marine Automated Network) stations. For
more information see the NODC buoy page at
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/BUOY/buoy.html.
