Definitely there are similar buoys in offshore Canadian waters. Maybe not on
Web sites, though.  There is a ring of maybe five or six around the Queen
Charlottes, and their observations are reported (via computer "voice") on the
VHF weather channel, updated every hour or so.  Invaluable info for detecting
passage of a front, and for sea state values.

May not have water temp capability.  Can't remember.
