Bliss Beach Weather Station

Summary:
This weather station is located at Bliss Beach in Bliss, Michigan. The weather station, owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians, will gather more temporally robust, accurate, and precise measures of climatology to determine the effect of climatology on YOY Lake Whitefish recruitment, alert the public to hazardous conditions, and improve weather forecasts. Each year, the WS700 multi-parameter weather station will relay real-time information on wind speed and direction, air temperature, and other environmental characteristics such as: humidity, solar radiation, pressure, and precipitation.

City of Duluth Park Point Sofar buoy SPOT-31141C

Summary:
SPOT-31141C is a sofar buoy that is deployed off the beach along Park Point. It is owned and operated by the City of Duluth with the help of Duluth Fire Department. Its purpose is to help with rip current predications. 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.

Granite Island:meterological station

Summary:
Granite Island is a 2.5-acre island in Lake Superior, roughly 12 miles north of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The island is composed of granite rock and rises nearly 60 feet above the surface of Lake Superior. The lighthouse began operation in 1869, was automated in 1937, and then was privately purchased and restored by Scott and Martine Holman in 1999. In 2009 Dr. John Lenters, then an associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, installed an eddy covariance system and weather station to measure lake evaporation and other atmospheric variables. In 2013 Northern Michigan University took ownership of the eddy covariance station, with LimnoTech helping to maintain the site.

Little Cedar Point: water quality station

Summary:
Researchers at the University's Lake Erie Center sensors monitor blue-green algae. Missions of the Center include researching environmental conditions in Maumee Bay and western Lake Erie as well as discerning linkages among land-use practices, water quality, habitat, economics, natural resources, sustainability, and environmental and public health. The UT HAB Buoy is sponsored by the Ohio Board of Regents and the University of Toledo and collects water quality data.

Sandusky Bay buoy:water quality station

Summary:
The dataset is provided by an YSI EXO-2 water quality sonde installed on a buoy East of the Edison Bridge bisecting Sandusky Bay. The sonde measures parameters important in tracking the intensity of a persistent Planktothrix harmful algal bloom.The purpose of the dataset is to provide a continuous dataset tracking the cyanobacterial bloom in Sandusky Bay. The bloom produces the hepatotoxin microcystin, and measuring the intensity of the bloom will assist in developing models that can help predict bloom intensity.

Sheboygan, WI Spotter Buoy

Summary:
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 Sheboygan, 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.
