A buoyancy control system, GPS sensor and data analysis engine, a wind direction sensor, and a controller to detect significant wind direction changes. Upon calculation that the desired location within the eye wall has been reached the buoy descends to depths where ocean currents are reduced, preventing drift from the hurricane eye. A solar sensor triggers ascent when sunlight indicates reentry into the eye.
