| Number of days in 1 year = 365 | ||
|  A Number of days buoy/sensor is in position and working.  | 
		B Number of days buoy is drifting or not working.  | 
		C Number of days buoy is not deployed.  | 
	
| % Buoy Working in Position | = | [ A / ( A + B ) ] * 100 | 
| % Buoy in Position | = | [ ( A + B ) / 365 ] * 100 | 
| % Data in 1 Year | = | [ A / 365 ] * 100 |
