U.S. Tsunami Buoy Network Completed (10 March 2008)
NOAA has deployed the final two tsunami detection buoys in the South Pacific, completing the DART network and bolstering the U.S. tsunami warning system. This network of 39 stations provides real-time data to the tsunami warning system in order to provide coastal communities in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico with faster and more accurate tsunami warnings.
