Oceanographic and surface water meteorological parameter data collected from moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network (ReCON) Saginaw Bay Buoy (NDBC station 45163), Lake Huron, in the Great Lakes region by NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory from 2010-06-17 to 2019-10-24 (NCEI Accession 0213627)

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 were collected during the open water seasons of 2010-2019. 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, water temperature, other oceanographic parameters, and meteorological parameters. 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.

Supplemental Information |
Submission Package ID: NE92BL In this accession, NCEI has archived multiple versions of these data. The latest (and best) version of these data has the largest version number. |
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. |
