We’re enjoying the rare days of sunshine on deck during the #CE25007 survey and gave a short intro to @MarineInst M6 #IMDBON buoy to 3 students on board. Doreen will use data from M6 & South Rockall Mooring for her MSc project Zdenek, our technician, shows them the CTD in hull.

“Data buoys withstood intense weather, remained operational and continued delivering crucial data” Have a read on @IrishTimes about the @MarineInst #imdbon data buoys’ performance during #StormEowyn! @MetEireann irishtimes.com/environment/c….
Data from Storm Éowyn shows ‘extraordinary strength’ with wave height the length of tennis court

Over 12 hours, #StormEowyn left visible damage and destruction. Thanks to the Irish Marine Data Buoy Observation Network we can see what it was like out on the open seas. M4 off the coast of Donegal waves of 18.75m, with M3 off the SW waves of 15.98m bit.ly/4jvxcfS
