Funded via a grant from the Great Lakes Observing System, this data buoy is maintained by the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary in cooperation with the Great Lakes Environmental Lab and Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research. The buoy provides real time wind and wave information, as well as temperature through the water column. The data helps make on-water recreation safer, provides anglers with key water temperature information, and improves modeling and forecasting. Located off Two Rivers, WI, the buoy is active from approximately May 1 to November 1 each year. NOTE: The wind values displayed for these buoys (Sofar Spotters & Smart Moorings) are based on an estimate from its wave measurements, and not an actual direct measurement.

This location measures sediment concentration from a single point in the river near the Blue Water Bridge on the American side. It is important to note the concentrations measured at this point DO NOT represent the average concentration in the entire cross section. This location is known to have a strong lateral concentration gradient. The purpose of the instrument is to provide an idea of when sediment is present in the water column and when it is not. This site is funded and maintaind by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

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.

Funded via a grant from the Great Lakes Observing System, this data buoy is maintained by the Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary in cooperation with the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab, the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, and Michigan Technological University. The buoy provides real time wind and wave information, as well as temperature through the water column. The data helps make on-water recreation safer, provides anglers with key water temperature information, and improves modeling and forecasting. Located off Pt. Washington, WI, the buoy is active from approximately May 1 to November 1 each year. NOTE: The wind values displayed for these buoys (Sofar Spotters & Smart Moorings) are based on an estimate from its wave measurements, and not an actual direct measurement.

University of Minnesota-Duluth started deploying moored buoy BARK_PT in southwest Lake Superior near Bark Point, Wisconsin in April 2021. Bark Point is a region that has recently started to experience noticeable algae blooms and there was a desire to monitor the area for water quality. Waves, water temperatures at depth, water quality (including turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chl-a and BGA fluorescence), and basic meteorological data are also collected at this site. BARK_PT is in 50 meters of water. This buoy is operated and maintained by University of Minnesota-Duluth Large Lakes Observatory with support from the Great Lakes Observing System.

The South Haven buoy(45168) is located in Lake Michigan near South Haven. This buoy is owned and maintained by LimnoTech and is funded through a NOAA Coastal Storms grant with ongoing support from the City of South Haven, Van Buren County, and Entergy – Palisades Nuclear Plant. The buoy measures meteorological and water surface conditions like wind speed and direction, air and water temperature, relative humidity, wave direction, height and perio . The data is logged internally as well as transmitted in ten minute intervals to the internet via cellular modem.

Station 45164 is a seasonal moored buoy deployed in Lake Erie about 15 miles offshore of Cleveland, Ohio, in 75 feet of water. Known as Cleveland Water’s Offshore buoy, it was originally deployed in 2010 through a USEPA Great Lakes Restorative Initiative grant administered by Great Lakes Observing System. The buoy is now maintained by Cleveland Water in partnership with Cleveland Water Alliance and LimnoTech. The buoy’s purpose is to monitor water quality as well as meteorological and physical water parameters useful for providing water treatment, including tracking seasonal hypoxia in the Central Basin.
