Measuring stations in the North Sea

  • In the southern German Bight, 2 unmanned light vessels at the positions DEUTSCHE BUCHT (DB) and TW EMS (EMS) serve as navigation aids as well as oberservation platforms.
  • 2 further platforms in the northern German Bight are the Nordseeboje II (NSB II) and Nordseeboje III (NSB III). They are semi-submersible buoys with a torus at 10 m depth. By flooding the torus with 60 tons of sea water, the buoy is gravity-stabilized. The height of the buoys from the top to the bottom is 20 m.
