NOAA - Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory
The goal of the ReCON project is to develop a national network of low cost coastal buoys capable of seabed to sea-surface observations. This wireless Internet observation system, with shore stations at coastal locations covering approximately 800 square miles of sea surface, uses commercially available networking equipment allowing straight-forward integration into a nationwide network. Each system collects meteorological data and provides sub-surface measurements of chemical, biological, and physical parameters. The system is designed to allow controlled access to multi-institutional users through surface buoys and sub-surface sensor guest ports located on an underwater hub. The observation network currently provides environmental data to state, federal, and university researchers, educators and resource managers.
The goal of the RT-MON project is to establish a network of real-time meteorological stations at exposed coastal sites around Lakes Michigan, Huron, and Erie. Click here to read more about the RT-MON project.
