What you are looking at
Some 300 nautical miles south-southeast of Bermuda, station 41049 (South Bermuda) floats in the Sargasso Sea, where the ocean is about 5,480 meters deep. The 3-meter foam buoy is hundreds of miles from the nearest land, which never appears in its pictures.
Each set of camera images, generally captured hourly in daylight, shows the sea in several directions side by side. This part of the Atlantic is known for deep blue water and drifting mats of golden sargassum weed, and on quiet days you may notice patches near the buoy. On rough days, expect whitecaps, spray and a horizon tipping with the swell.
Tropical storms and hurricanes heading toward Bermuda or recurving out into the Atlantic often pass this region between June and November, and the buoy's measurements of wind, gusts, air pressure, air and sea temperature, and wave height and period help National Weather Service forecasters follow them. Yacht crews sailing to and from Bermuda and the Caribbean watch it as well. Winter brings more wind and longer northerly swell, while summer often settles into light breezes under the Bermuda high.
