ocean_buoys

Tool of ai.dynamicfeed/dynamic-feed

Live marine observations from NOAA NDBC ocean buoys — significant wave height & period, wave direction, wind speed/direction/gust, barometric pressure (+ 3-hour tendency), air & water temperature, dewpoint and visibility, each with the buoy's own observation timestamp + age. `station` = an NDBC station id (e.g. "46059", "51001", "41001") -> that one buoy. `near` = "lat,lon" (e.g. "37.7,-123.0") OR a coast preset (us west coast, us east coast, gulf of mexico, hawaii, alaska, great lakes, pacific nw, new england, florida, california, korea) -> the nearest reporting buoys (up to `limit`, default 5). No args -> a sensible default open-ocean buoy. Single bulk-file fan-out: NDBC's whole-network latest_obs file is fetched once and indexed (~1,300 stations), so every lookup is served from cache. COVERAGE: NDBC is a NOAA/US network — no Australian buoys (run by BoM/AODN). Observational data only — not a substitute for an official marine forecast/warning. Source: NOAA NDBC (ndbc.noaa.gov) — US government public domain (17 U.S.C. § 105), keyless. Every value is returned in an Ed25519-signed, provenance-stamped envelope (source and observation time) you can verify offline against /.well-known/keys, no account required.
