Green Bay East (45184) :meteorological and water quality station

Summary:
Lower Green Bay is a dynamic transition zone between the blue waters of Lake Michigan and nutrient rich waters of the Fox River and Lake Winnebago pool (The Fox-Wolf Watershed). Nutrients and algal biomass deposited in the lower bay contribute to the formation of toxic algal blooms. These blooms can form and decay over short time scales and the environmental conditions under which blooms form in lower Green Bay are not well understood. The Green Bay East buoy provides real- time continuous monitoring of algal biomass and water quality conditions. This data serves as an early warning system for bloom activity and may help us to better understand environmental conditions under which blooms form in lower Green Bay.

Green Bay LoRaWAN Buoy 1

Summary:
GB001 is a LoRaWAN-connected buoy in Green Bay, Lake Michigan equipped with chlorophyll, phycocyanin (blue green algae), temperture, and dissolved oxygen sensors. This buoy is deployed in ~7 meters of water. It is owned and operated by UWM and UWGB.
