attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	A 2.0 m diameter disc buoy (YSI EMM 2.0) is deployed in Lake Ontario near Sodus Point, NY at the 7 m isopleth during the summer months June -- September. The buoy is outfitted with a meterological station that measures air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and solar radiation. A temperature string with sensors at one meter intervals measure water temperature from the surface to 6 m. A YSI 6600 data sonde with temperature, specific conductivity, and turbidity is positioned ~1 m below the surface. A YSI 6600 data sonde with temperature, specific conductivity, and turbidity sensors is positioned ~1 m below the surface. An ADCP is deployed on the bottom ~30 m horizontal distance from the surface buoy. The ADCP (Nortek AWAC) measures water velocity and wave height and direction. These data are retrieved by a shore station every 15 to 30 minutes.
