What NOAA buoy 44137 measures
As a NOAA meteorological station, 44137 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 water temperature at East Scotia Slope?
- Sea surface temperature at East Scotia Slope was 59°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 21:00 UTC by NOAA station 44137 (East Scotia Slope). NDBC measures this near the surface, at a depth that varies by station.
- What is the air temperature at East Scotia Slope?
- Air temperature at East Scotia Slope was 61°F. Measured October 19, 2026 at 21:00 UTC by NOAA station 44137 (East Scotia Slope).
- What is the wind doing at East Scotia Slope?
- Wind at East Scotia Slope was from the E at 16 mph, with peak gusts to 20 mph. Measured October 19, 2026 at 21:00 UTC by NOAA station 44137 (East Scotia Slope). 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 East Scotia Slope?
- Significant wave height at East Scotia Slope was 6.9 ft, with a 7-second dominant period. Measured October 19, 2026 at 21:00 UTC by NOAA station 44137 (East Scotia Slope). Significant wave height is the average of the highest one-third of waves — individual waves can be larger.
- What is the barometric pressure at East Scotia Slope?
- Sea-level pressure at East Scotia Slope was 30.34 inHg (1027.3 hPa). Measured October 19, 2026 at 21:00 UTC by NOAA station 44137 (East Scotia Slope). NDBC reports pressure reduced to sea level rather than the raw reading at the station.
- Where is NOAA buoy 44137 located?
- East Scotia Slope (44137) reports from 42.260°N, 62.030°W in the western North Atlantic.
- How often is NOAA buoy 44137 updated?
- Station 44137 typically reports new observations about every 10 minutes. Big Buoy refreshes continuously so you always see the latest readings, alongside 7-day tide predictions and a solunar table for the area.
- What does NOAA buoy 44137 measure?
- Big Buoy shows wind, barometric pressure, air and water temperature, and wave height and period where available for East Scotia Slope, plus 7-day tides, solunar peak windows, and a multi-day weather outlook.
- Is Big Buoy free to use?
- Yes. Live data for East Scotia Slope and every other NOAA buoy is free with no account required. Big Buoy Pro adds the Wind Tab, the Depth Chart, satellite overlays (sea surface temp, chlorophyll, currents), 16-day forecasts, and forecast model switching.
