Three meteorological stations are operated by CWMS, one nearshore and two in offshore waters. These meteorological stations measure wind speed and direction, gust speed, air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity every 10 minutes. Nearshore meteorological data is available since July 2002 while offshore data is available since April 2010.
The Met data are collected at 10 minute intervals and consist of wind speed, wind direction, gust speed, air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity. Meteorological data is available from three locations:
- Jumeirah Open Beach
- Palm Deira Offshore Buoy
- Jebel Ali Offshore Buoy
