CeNCOOS meteorological monitoring at Morro Bay (BS1)

Ocean surface stress

Morro Bay BS1 Met station is located in the back of Morro Bay, CA and owned by California Polytechnic State University of San Luis Obispo. The station is mounted on a large tripod, resting on the seafloor. A Nova Lynx 100 Weather Station is fixed at 3 meters above MLLW to a pole extending from the tripod and reports the following in near real-time: wind speed, wind direction, air temperature, barometric pressure, precipitation, relative humidity, and solar radiation. The instrument is maintained and operated by San Luis Obispo Science and Ecosystem Alliance (SLOSEA), a part of the Cal Poly Center for Coastal Marine Sciences.
