Soul Buoy observes and records the weather, collecting data on air temperature, water temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and other variables. This information is then used for research into climatic conditions and meteorological forecasting in the Tropical Atlantic and beyond. At the actual site of Soul Buoy/Null Island, there is no land insight.

Null Island. A fake island for geocoding | by Five Guys | Five Guys Facts | Medium
March 25, 2017 - A lot of GIS professionals and cartographers end up frequently sending data points to Null Island, and this shared experience among map enthusiasts has fed the mystique of Null Island, with GIS enthusiasts creating fantasy maps, a “national” flag, and articles detailing Null Island’s rich history. So it’s a useful tool to catch errors, but also an elaborate inside joke among cartographers. At 0,0 there is actually a buoy permanently anchored (called “Soul”) to collect data on air temperature, water temperature, wind speed, wind direction and other variables.
