Abstract
Monitoring of physical and biological processes in the sea requires continuous measurements of oceanographic parameters, which is made possible by the constant operation of sensors on the oceanographic buoy. Buoy measurements will provide a better understanding of the state of the marine ecosystem and the ability to predict changes using numerical forecasting models. Today's level of development of technology and measurement methods allows the measurement of oceanographic parameters using automatic systems on buoys along the coast and on the high seas. Such systems enable oceanographic measurements in all meteorological conditions, as well as simultaneous remote data transfer to a computer database, and their display on InterNet pages. Noticing the importance of such systems, a large number of developed countries already have buoyant operating systems in coastal and high seas (USA, Canada, UK, Japan, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Greece, etc.).
