Note: This buoy is located in Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary The southern third of NOAA's 22-square mile Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary has be designated a research area specifically designed for conducting controlled scientific studies where human activities cannot affect the results. Fishing and diving will be prohibited in the lightly used, 8-square mile research area. Vessels are permitted to travel through it without stopping. For complete information, go the Gray's Reef website at graysreef.noaa.gov  
LINK TO PMEL's pCO2 SITE for their data on this Station: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/coastal/NDBC_41008/data_081w_14d.htm NDBC ADCPs are now quality controlled using automated methods. Historical and forty-five day files beginning 1 June 2010 are available in a new format that contains more QC information.  The forty-five day files in the old format will be resident until approximately 31 July 2010.
