The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) has an extensive program to reduce greatly the chances of transmitting degraded measurements. These measurements are taken from its network of buoys and Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) stations (Meindl and Hamilton, 1992). This paper discusses improvements to the real-time software that automatically validates the observations. In effect, these improvements codify rules data analysts—who have years of experience with our system—use to detect degraded data.
