Irish Lights are developing are looking at developing new services and are using a company to do some market research fro them in advance of CIL installing a network of ocean meteorological (met-ocean) observing stations on buoys and at lighthouse locations around the Irish coastline.
Have an input into pricing and the platforms it may be suitable on. Bear in mind the location of where we operate, a signal may be available sometimes but usually not 4G, so fancy phone apps may not be the most appropriate depending on location, or is this a view of a technophobe that has lost too many things to the sea!

Re: Have a say
Thanks for the heads-up on this one.
What I don't understand is why these stations are being proposed ... MAWS currently uploads lots of useful data and this can be retrieved from several sources - http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62105 for a start. This one is K4 (reg.no or NDBC No.62105) off the Donegal coast.
M3 30Nm SW of Baltimore is 62092. (Currently offline) can be substituted by 62081below.
NDBC Reg: 62081. UK owned K2 bouy is about 150Nm off Mizen
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=62081
NDBC stands for National Data Buoy Centre - a division of noaa.
I have put an image showing the locations of Shore stations, wave buoys and light ship stations for the home islands and Europe at this location is anyone wants to see where they are.

I think it is a pity that MetoUK and the BBC have withdrawn (and now refuse to restore) easy public access to downloadable data - it was available as .csv packages for us to use in our own graphics packages.
Noaa (probably 'cos they have muscle) still have access and we can get it all from them + instant graphs for anyone wanting them.
Hope this is useful.
Now my instruments tell me that it is very windy outside
