LSPA’s water quality
buoy collects and transmits data every ten minutes 24/7, 365 days of the year on weather and
in-lake conditions. This buoy is part of a global
buoy network called the Global Lake Ecological Observatory
Network (GLEON). Instruments record air temperature, wind speed and
direction, humidity, sunlight energy (PAR), water temperature
at various depths and dissolved oxygen in the
water.
