[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyeong] Buan County recently announced on the 25th that it has installed a wave buoy capable of collecting real-time weather information in the sea area between Gyeokpo and Wido and is currently conducting test operations.

The wave buoy installed this time is equipment capable of measuring wave height in real time in the relevant sea area, and the measured weather data will be provided to related organizations such as the Korea Meteorological Administration via 5G wireless communication, and will be used as basic data for various weather warnings.

In particular, it is designed to be linked with the Korea Meteorological Administration's website to provide real-time data to the public for use in passenger ship operations and safe fishing activities in the relevant sea area.

Until now, weather data from weather observation equipment located between Wido and Wangdeungdo, which is relatively offshore, has been used for issuing weather warnings, but the wave buoy installed this time is located in the relatively inner bay area between Wido and Gyeokpo, making more accurate data collection expected.

A county official said, "The weather data from the newly installed wave buoy will greatly contribute to the safe fishing operations of fishermen and minimizing passenger ship cancellations," and added, "Please pay special attention to the safe navigation of ships near the installation site to ensure stable operation of the wave buoy and prevent damage or loss."
