Sodus Point Nearshore Monitoring Buoy

Summary:
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.

North Central Lake Winnebago Buoy

Summary:
The North Central Lake Winnebago Buoy (NCWB) is deployed in Wisconsin's largest inland lake, Lake Winnebago, which eventually flows into lower Green Bay and then into Lake Michigan. The lake is a shallow system that experiences seasonal algal blooms, which serves as one of the drivers for this moored buoy. The buoy also monitors meteorological conditions, temperature profiles, and selected water quality parameters. NCWB is deployed in 3 meters of water and utilizes cellular communication for real-time data transmission. NCWB is funded by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with deployment support from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

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.
