        abstract:  NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory collected the data from moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network, ReCON, Saginaw Bay Buoy (NDBC station 45163), Lake Huron, an in-situ moored station, in the Great Lakes. Observations have been collected at this location since 2010, this record contains the 2020 observations. Note, the short deployment of this buoy in 2020 is due to COVID-19 and a reduced field work season. This station is also known as NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station Saginaw Bay Buoy, MI (45163). A temporal subset of these data are available from NDBC and the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) since 2012, this data accession contains the complete record of observations. The ReCON buoy provides continuous, real-time observations facilitates modification of sampling parameters in anticipation of episodic events, facilitates collection of field samples in response to episodic events, supports long term research, and contributes to sensor and system development. Parameters collected include currents and water temperature. The block of text at the beginning of each file contains information about the location and sensor used to collect data and the data headers followed by the observed data. Column 1 of the data is the timestamp, column 2 is the observed data, and column 3, where applicable, the QARTOD flag. Five QARTOD tests were run including gross range, climatological, spike, rate of change, and flat line tests. The highest value from the five tests were included under the “Qartod” column. If data were known to be invalid, that line of data was removed from the dataset.
        purpose:  The goal of the ReCON project is to develop a national network of 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 straightforward 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.
