The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) "smart buoys" collect and transmit real-time weather and water data. CBIBS supports the use and management of a healthy Chesapeake Bay by providing the data and information needed to improve safety, enhance the economy, and protect the environment.

Recent changes:
Version 16:

The new NOAA Smart Buoys app works on tablets and smartphones and lets you use data from the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS) to create your own custom graphs. Now you can choose your buoy from a Google Maps setup, too. And the app gives you easy access to more information about each CBIBS buoy’s location.

Version 16 addresses request for an improved graphing capability.
