Lake Mendota Buoy

Status: Loading...

The Lake Mendota buoy project is a collaboration between North Temperate Lakes Long-Term Ecological Research (NTL-LTER), and Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC). NTL-LTER is supported by the National Science Foundation under Cooperative Agreement #DEB-2025982. 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.
