Bluegraph – Explore NOAA buoy data, rebuilt in 3D from measured spectra
Bluegraph is a new 3D visualization tool that displays oceanographic data from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center. It aggregates observations from buoys, coastal stations, tide gauges, and estuary stations across two oceans, the Caribbean, and the Great Lakes. The platform currently tracks over 113 million data points collected since April 2025, with most of the 715 stations reporting recent observations.
- ▪The platform visualizes data from 286 buoys, 175 coastal stations, 226 tide gauges, and 28 estuaries.
- ▪Current notable readings include the biggest seas at West Dixon Entrance with 3.8 meters and the strongest winds at Wrightsville Beach Offshore with 31 knot gusts.
- ▪Data collection covers regions ranging from the Bering Sea to Samoa, including the Great Lakes and inland lakes.
- ▪699 out of 715 stations were reporting data within the last three hours as of the latest observation.
