What NOAA buoy 41083 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 41083 reports wind speed, gusts and direction, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and — where wave sensors are fitted — significant wave height, swell period, and wave direction.
What to watch in the western North Atlantic
Conditions along the Atlantic coast are driven by swell direction and the shifting western edge of the Gulf Stream. Northeast winds against an outgoing tide stack up steep, dangerous seas at inlets, and water temperature can change 10–20°F over just a few miles as the Gulf Stream boundary moves.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the air temperature at Ooi Pioneer?
- Air temperature at Ooi Pioneer was 65°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:00 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring).
- What is the wind doing at Ooi Pioneer?
- Wind at Ooi Pioneer was from the N at 31 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:00 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring). NDBC records wind at the station’s anemometer height, which is not the 10 m height used in marine forecasts.
- How big are the waves at Ooi Pioneer?
- Significant wave height at Ooi Pioneer was 15.7 ft, with an 11-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:00 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring). Significant wave height is the average of the highest one-third of waves — individual waves can be larger.
- Which direction are the waves coming from at Ooi Pioneer?
- Waves at Ooi Pioneer were arriving from 60° true (ENE) at the dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:00 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring).
- What is the barometric pressure at Ooi Pioneer?
- Sea-level pressure at Ooi Pioneer was 30.12 inHg (1019.9 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 18:00 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- Is it swell or wind chop at Ooi Pioneer?
- NDBC classified the sea state at Ooi Pioneer as average, with a significant wave height of 15.7 ft. Measured October 19, 2026 at 17:20 UTC by NOAA station 41083 (OOI Pioneer - Mid-Atlantic Bight Southern Surface Mooring). The classification describes wave steepness relative to period, not wave size.
