Historically, the First Landing buoy was the only buoy to be equipped with the Gill due to the instrument's durability and the harsh conditions observed at that buoy location.

This data string is then sent via a cellular antenna to a shoreside server, which is where it is processed (including assigning Qa/Qc flags). The data is then uploaded to the website in real-time and available to be downloaded.
