Interesting data already being reported. The current speed and direction is cool, interesting to look at and see how variable it is, right now there is a spot that shows a 1kt current down 16ft, and 30 minutes prior that current was only .14kt.

Re: NEW WEATHER BUOY in INLAND SEA

Great to have a buoy on the IS.

Hi Dick, it looks like the water temp is recorded at 1meter (3.3ft). It would definitely be nice if it gave the temp at more depths like the SUNY bouy off Plattsburgh.

Re: NEW WEATHER BUOY in INLAND SEA
I don't understand how they will keep track of the thermocline if they don't have water temps at a variety of depths?

If you use the GREAT LAKES BUOYS link, Popsters first link, http://greatlakesbuoys.org/station_page ... tion=45166 you'll notice instructions on the right side of the page on how to text to get the latest observations. I tried it and received immediate results.
Cool geeky stuff.

Wow, really cool! I wish we had one at Diamond Island and one at Colchester Reef. The wave height and period is very useful.
