Dr. Emily Smith from NOAA was in Colorado for a conference so she stopped by our school and gave a very nice presentation to the students. She explained the different ways that NOAA monitors the oceans and atmosphere around the world. Then she showed some pictures of ocean drifter buoys and explained how they collect measurements as they travel in different currents. She said that our buoy has not yet been deployed but that it will be placed in the North Atlantic Ocean very soon! It will be fun to see where it travels and to follow it with our friends from Kyiv.
