Air temperature is measured using a variety of instruments. The thermistors typically have measurement errors of < 0.1oC, but where these instruments are installed on the buoys necessitates some care in interpreting the data. Prior to 1991, most measurements were taken from thermistors placed inside the hull of air dropped buoys, and were used primarily to calibrate the barometers. These buoys were sometimes covered with snow during winter, and were often warmed from insulation during summer. In 1992, the IABP began deploying buoys which measured true air temperatures from shielded thermistors at 2 meters height. For a detailed discussion of the temperature measurements from buoys, see Rigor et al. 2000.
Most buoys are positioned by the Argos systems on NOAA polar orbiting satellites. The Argos system results in positions with a measurement error of < 300 m. Global Position Systems have been installed on many of the newer buoys, and can be positioned with errors of < 100 m.EnglishNOAANational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationhttp://nsidc.org/noaa/Data Center ContactNOAAUser Servicesnsidc@nsidc.org1-303-492-61991-303-492-2468National Snow and Ice Data CenterCIRES, 449 UCBUniversity of ColoradoBoulderCO80309-0449USACD-ROM45 - 3482 KBASCIIFTP45 - 3482 KBASCIIBrown, W.

New York: Plenum Press. 489-569.The International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) maintains a network of drifting buoys to provide meteorological and oceanographic data for real-time operational requirements and research purposes including support to the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the World Weather Watch (WWW) Programme. An average of 25 buoys are in service at any time. The IABP drifting buoy data products described here are 12-hour interpolated pressure, temperature, position, and ice velocity grids available by year from 1979 through the present.
