They have smaller buoys than the 3m discus. The Lake Sunapee group designed their own I think. It was in the article of my original post. There's a picture of it too.
NOAA's largest ocean buoy, the 12m discus, comes out to 39 feet diameter.... they say it has to be towed to its location behind a USCG cutter. Geez if we put that in Winnipesaukee we could tow it out to The Broads behind the MOUNT and host a ForumFest on it. Maybe even install a couple of docks. No BBQs though - that would affect the air temperature readings.
