Abstract
Two drifting buoys were configured to accept, process, and transmit barometric pressure signals from three independent low-cost pressure transducers. The "smart barometer" concept is based upon the use of an inexpensive, but stable pressure sensor in conjunction with a microprocessor. The pressure transducers were calibrated to remove their temperature biases with a data correction algorithm, thus establishing the basis for a reliable, accurate, and inexpensive electronic barometer.<>
