For over a decade, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated a real-time monitoring buoy deployed off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, in Lake Erie’s eastern basin. Funded by the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and with field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit, the buoy provides data […]

Using Data Buoys to Monitor Southern Green Bay
University of Wisconsin
Green Bay has suffered continuous influxes of pollutants and contaminants from the Fox River due to non-point source runoff in the watershed. Deterioration of the bay’s water quality extends well into the last century, and while cleanup efforts in the bay have been successful overall, continuous monitoring of the bay is important to ecosystem management. […]
Configuring a Water Sensor String
Water sensor strings help lake managers who need a real-time temperature profiling system to make smart decisions, and to respond to signs of trouble in enough time to stop problems.
Temperature Profiling – Thermistor Strings
The NexSens TS210 Temperature String provides high precision measurements for profiling in lakes, streams, and coastal waters.
Tracking Lake Erie Hypoxia
LimnoTech
Conditions in the middle of a great lake are hard to predict. Wave actions can vary and weather can change in a flash. For those reasons, engineers with LimnoTech chose a NexSens CB-450 Data Buoy for the project.
