Abstract

Since the establishment of marine technology, buoys have been developed with the capability to provide high quality oceanographic data that supports not only the near surface currents, but can also provide meteorological, biological, chemical and directional wave data for research, education, search and rescue. There is the clear opportunity and responsibility to use the Integrated Ocean Observation System (IOOS) resources, emerging knowledge, and advances in technology to address a broad range of user applications. The IOOS can support and help to find solutions for problems in a diverse range of areas, including natural hazards, marine operations, human and environmental health, resource sustainability, climate and weather, and national security. The various regional observing systems that have been, or are being, established address a number of these problems areas. However, as the regional systems are integrated and sustained, it will be increasingly important for successful components to convincingly demonstrate the feasibility of preoperational regional observing systems and their relevance to national needs. IOOS is our eyes on our oceans, and coasts that enable country to track, predict, manage, and adapt to changes in our marine environment and deliver critical information to decision makers to improve safety, enhance our economy and protect our environment. IOOS enables decision making every day and fosters advances in science and technology. In this project is studied, discussed and designed the component parts that are needed to be assemble together to Integrated Ocean Observation System (IOOS) buoy for underwater station. This buoy system will be equipped with sensors to sample oceanographic and meteorological data, and also will have hydrophone and camera to capture audio and visual data from the surrounding of the buoy. Even there are available buoy in the market nowadays, but the main function of this buoy is to act as the control room for the underwater station. This is because all the electronic board for underwater vehicle will be located inside the buoy. It also will give power supply for that station. The material produced in this report is definitely the beginning of new knowledge which can be deeply developed.
