Abstract During the planning of the FGGE, certain objectives were set for various aspects of the performance of the Drifting Buoy Observing System, such as measurement accuracy, coverage and buoy lifetime. When preliminary results from the actual buoy array are reviewed it can be seen that these objectives were clearly satisfied for buoy reliability and sea temperature, and nearly satisfied for barometric pressure, but that complete coverage of the 20° to 65°S zone was never achieved. Nevertheless the performance of the array exceeded all expectations.
