Question 13

A marine research facility needs to monitor and store telemetric data from hundreds of oceanographic sensor buoys deployed across the North Atlantic. For each buoy, the facility must keep track of its unique station code, its most recent sea-surface temperature measurement (in degrees Celsius, recorded to two decimal places), and whether the buoy's battery is currently in a critical power-saving state.

Explain how a software developer could use a combination of a record and an array to store this information. In your answer, you must refer to the specific fields and data types that would be used.
