About Lake Mendota Buoy Data

Displays near real-time lake conditions including:

* Wind direction and speed
* Air temperature
* Dew point/relative humidity
* Vertical profile of water temperature
* Dissolved oxygen
* Chlorophyll
* Phycocyanin

From the Lake Mendota buoy in Madison, Wisconsin.

Wind speed can be shown in miles per hour, meters per second, or knots. Temperatures can be shown in celsius or fahrenheit.

Data provided by the Limnology, Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and Environmental Engineering Departments at University of Wisconsin.

----------------------------------
There's currently a temporary problem with the display of the water temperatures. From a note on the metobs web site:

Some time around 2014-07-17 the faulty water temperature string / sensor on the buoy was replaced with a temporary replacement that is being indexed incorrectly in the database.

Works great on 4g LTE and wifi at one location but won't work on wifi at second location. There I have to turn off wifi for it to work.

Very cool.. would be really cool if there was a way to measure the waves wave height.

Great app. I check this app several times while out on Lake Mendota fishing. Using a Web browser to hit the page on a tiny phone screen is pretty clunky. It's nice having a quick app to see wind strength and water temps. One thing I would like to see is a graph of temperature history. This is useful for fishing to see where the thermocline is or how fast the temperature is changing.

Why do you suddenly need access to our identity, location and files? Sticking with the old version.
