BuoyBrief

BuoyBrief is a web + mobile app that turns messy ocean-circulation data into actionable, location-specific alerts. Users pick a coastline, offshore lease block, port approach, or shipping lane and get daily briefings on surface currents, eddy risk, and anomalous flow shifts that affect operations. It pulls from public models (e.g., Copernicus/NOAA), blends with near-real-time buoy and HF radar feeds where available, and flags when conditions deviate from the recent baseline. The app focuses on “what changed and why it matters” rather than pretty maps: drift implications, likely spill/foam trajectories, and confidence levels. It’s not a replacement for professional oceanography; it’s an operational decision-support layer for teams that don’t have a dedicated analyst. Expect gaps in some regions and occasional model disagreement—BuoyBrief is honest about uncertainty instead of hiding it.
