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.

The buoy is equipped with a solar-powered weather station and surface and near-bottom water quality sensors that collect data every 30 min, as well as a cellular modem for real-time data communication. This dataset contains water quality data from a couple of surface sondes, EXO and C3, the latter of which has its parameters isolated in the 0 ft (or m) depth section on the Seagull dive deeper page.

Lac du Flambeau Smart Mooring in northern Wisconsin Lake

Summary:
The Lac du Flambeau Tribal Natural Resources Department and its Wild Rice Program, obtained funding through a Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) grant to provide real- time sensors for monitoring water levels and other water quality parameters within the Lac du Flambeau Reservation 10 lake chain of lakes.

The data obtained will enable LDF TNR staff to make necessary water quality management decisions. In addition, the information collected will be added into the overall Tribal Water Quality Platforms. The Real-time buoys sensors will play an integrated role in our on-going efforts in designing a Tribal Dashboard that anybody can use.

This project will provide information that will enhance a deeper conservation conversation with stakeholders, through our local Lakes associations and other partners in monitoring lake health.

This project will support the goals of the Tribe and strengthen partnership with our local and regional stakeholders working to address local and regional water Quality problems.

Ludington Sofar Smart Mooring

Summary:
Funded via a grant from the Integrated Ocean Observing System, Ludington Spotter SPOT-32277C is deployed by Michigan Technological University's Great Lakes Research Center as part of an effort to improve how different types of waves are detected. The buoy provides real time wave information, as well as temperature through the water column. In-lake water level data is also being collected, but not shared, as part of the project. 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.

Green Bay West (45185) : meteorological, hydrological  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 West 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 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.

GLRC Met Tower and Sonde Data

Summary:
The Great Lakes Research Center Meteorological Station, GLRCMET, has been refurbished and relocated from its previous rooftop installation to the end of the GLRC pier, providing a more representative and unobstructed measurement location over the Portage Waterway. In addition to standard meteorological measurements, the station has been expanded to include an in situ water quality sonde. This system measures critical parameters within the highly dynamic Portage Waterway, including temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and other biogeochemical indicators. The site is uniquely positioned within a bidirectional flow regime, where water exchange with Lake Superior can occur from both the north and the south entries depending on seiche activity, wind forcing, and broader lake conditions. Together, these observations provide a valuable, co-located atmospheric and aquatic dataset, supporting research on air–water interactions, circulation dynamics, and water quality variability in a complex and understudied coastal system.
Funding for the station’s refurbishment and long-term operation is provided by GLOS.
