Realtime Data
About this instrument
 The Lake Mendota buoy project is a collaboration between the University of Wisconsin
Limnology, Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and Environmental Engineering.
The buoy measurements provide researchers valuable information to better understand the
biological process governing the health of the lake and the impact of human activity
on water quality. The buoy is located approximately 1.5 km North East of Picnic Point.
The buoy measures both atmospheric and lake properties including:
- Wind direction and speed
- Air temperature
- Dew point/relative humidity
- Vertical profile of water temperature
- Dissolved oxygen
- Chlorophyll
- Phycocyanin
This site provides public access to the current lake conditions. The measurements are updated
every 2 minutes providing near real-time observations of the lake conditions. |
