The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a weather Service Change Notice regarding Dial-A-Buoy voice response. This important NOAA Notice is copied below:
Effective Sunday March 17, 2024, the National Weather Service National Data Buoy Center will discontinue their Dial-A-Buoy Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that provides buoy data in voice format via IVR toll-free numbers and primarily supports public user data inquiry based on station ID.
This service is being discontinued due to the low volume of users and the cost to retain the service. NDBC encourages any user of this service to use the redesigned NDBC website with mobile compatibility at www.ndbc.noaa.gov
If you have any questions, contact Ian Sears, National Data Buoy Center, at webmaster.ndbc@noaa.gov
