ATLANTIC CITY - Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind on Wednesday announced the launch of two buoys that will collect atmospheric and weather data and track the migration of birds, fish, turtles and other animals that have been tagged by researchers.
Each buoy will be deployed in the offshore wind developer s lease area off Atlantic City to strengthen atmospheric models that help inform how the developer designs and estimates energy production for its proposed project, according to a news release. Some data also will help deepen research of the Mid-Atlantic Cold Pool as well as help study animal migration and stop-over activities to inform the development of offshore wind in the area.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) A company planning a wind energy farm off New Jersey s southern coast will deploy two research buoys to study conditions in the area envisioned for its development.
The devices from Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind will collect atmospheric and weather data in the area, and track the migration of birds, fish, turtles and other animals that live there. The data will be shared with researchers at Rutgers University.
The buoys are due to be deployed next month.
The research comes as activity ramps up off New Jersey s coastline to establish wind-powered energy sources.
