UWSS-RAEON2-21: Real-Time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network station

Summary:
University of Windsor's Real-Time Aquatic Ecosystem Observation Network (RAEON) project provides the infrastructure, staff and data management that Canadian researchers need to carry out cutting-edge, integrated and transformative research on the Great Lakes. This buoy is deployed west of Point Pelee and collects climate, currents, waves, water properties and water quality information.
