The Environmental Monitoring Division participates in the international marine program and specifically the systems for marine and ocean observation and data collection project. With the support of the Canadian Coast Guard/Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the division maintains a network of nine moored ODAS (Ocean Data Acquisition Systems) buoys along the coasts of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. The buoys collect and transmit hourly weather and sea state data 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Data is transmitted to the GOES satellite then relayed to earth stations where it is entered into the Global Telecommunications System (GTS). Archiving of data is done by the Marine Environmental Data Service (MEDS) of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and by Environment Canada. 1, record 1, English, - Ocean%20Data%20Acquisition%20Systems

La Division de la surveillance de l'environnement participe à un programme international d'observation et, en particulier, à un projet d'observation et de collecte de données en mer. La Division a un réseau de neuf bouées SADO (Système d'acquisition de données océaniques) ancrées le long des côtes de Terre-Neuve et de la Nouvelle-Écosse, qu'elle entretient avec l'appui de la Garde côtière canadienne et de Pêches et Océans. Ces bouées recueillent des données sur l'état de la mer et les transmettent toutes les heures, 24 heures sur 24 et sept jours sur sept. Ces données sont captées par satellite GOES qui les renvoient à des stations à terre, où elles passent dans le Système global de télécommunications (SGT). L'archivage des données est effectué par le Service des données sur le milieu marin (SDMM) du ministère des Pêches et par Environnement Canada. 1, record 1, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20d%27acquisition%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20oc%C3%A9aniques
