Anyone have a link to what appears to be weather station buoy about 2 miles off of Atlantic City beach? It was yellow and rectangular shaped.

Thanks

It's a University of Maryland CINAR Storm data buoy. Per USCG LNM. it's to be pulled 12/1 on or about, weather permitting. It is not part of the NOAA weather system (and everyone is wondering why not including NOAA, Dan Skelton from AC Press weather) The official weather buoy was lost during Storm Jonas.
