NDBC anticipates the same issue arising in their weather buoys in July 2019, which Cucullu said the agency has been in the process of fixing “for a few years now.” “As with much of the weather industry, the more data the better,” Cornwell noted. “If you’re looking at daily or hourly conditions, you’ll be missing a good chunk of data,” he said. When asked how the missing data could affect long-term records, Cornwell told Eos that it depended on the resolution needed. NWS meteorologist Greg Cornwell from the forecasting office in Caribou, Maine, said that they “still have a pretty good network of data” but that they “don’t have a million buoys out there.” In Maine, two monitoring stations are currently down because of the issue and are scheduled for repair in August. “As with much of the weather industry, the more data the better.” “We weren’t sure when it was going to happen,” she said.īecki Heim, the NWS regional program manager at the Anchorage office, said that the NDBS is “doing everything” to respond to their needs quickly. “To them, knowing the wind and wave data is really valuable.”įode said that the office had “very little notice” about the outage. ![]() In the past when data have been unavailable, mariners have noticed and called the office, said Fode.

Louise Fode, a warning coordination meteorologist at the NWS Anchorage office, told Eos that the station has “been fortunate that we’ve had good weather” but that a storm could be on the way later this week. NDBC engineers plan to service the stations “as soon as possible,” Cucullu told Eos, which may stretch on through the summer and fall. The center managed to service 10 before the rollover but couldn’t reach the 19 remaining stations, which represent 42% of their total coastal and marine automated stations (C-MAN). NWS’s National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) monitors a suite of equipment that lines the country’s coasts, and they identified the GPS issues 2 months before the rollover date, according to Stephen Cucullu, the supervisory general engineer for NDBC. In Alaska, five of the stations in and around Cook Inlet, which leads from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage, are down. As the DHS wrote on their website, the rollover is a “standard design feature of GPS” and “not an unknown ‘bug.’” ![]() Mostly cloudy, with a high near 52.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a notice in 2018 warning about the impending rollover event, which would affect a wide array of users, from utility companies to aircraft navigation systems.
