Station 42002 - Search and Rescue Data

WEST GULF - 207 NM East of Brownsville, TX
25.790 N 93.666 W (25°47'24" N 93°39'58" W)

Station 42002 is transmitting intermittently since 04/18/2012.

The NOAA National Data Buoy Center has deferred annual maintenance for buoys and C-MAN stations in your region until further notice. We hope to resume maintenance of the coastal and offshore weather buoys and C-MAN network next year, pending full funding of the President's FY14 budget.

42002 was re-established at the above location on 2/8/2008.  

Previously the station was positioned at  25* 10' 00" N 094* 25' 00" W.

Average surface winds - six hour block.
