The buoy has cellular modem communications and measures wind speed and direction, relative humidity, air temperature, barometric pressure, light intensity, and the water's depth and temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and chlorophyll-a levels.
The buoy was initially deployed in June 2006. The water depth where it is located is about 60 metres (200 ft).

Let me hide myself in thee!

From thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure;
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow’r.”
