NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory and the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR), University of Michigan, started regular water quality monitoring of the western basin of Lake Erie in 2012. Since that time the monitoring effort has expanded to incorporate additional parameters and sample locations. Physical, chemical, and biological water quality data were collected during repeated weekly sampling trips to a set of stations before, during, and after HAB events (from May - October). Data for these discrete sampling events include: wind speed, wave height, secchi depth, sample temperature, Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) Sonde temperature, CTD specific conductivity, CTD beam attenuation, CTD transmission, CTD dissolved oxygen, CTD photosynthetically active radiation, turbidity, particulate microcystin, dissolved microcystin, extracted phycocyanin, extracted chlorophyll-a, total phosphorus, total dissolved phosphorus, soluble reactive phosphorus, ammonia, nitrate + nitrite, urea, particulate organic carbon, particulate organic nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, colored dissolved organic material absorbance at 400 nm, total suspended solids, and volatile suspended solids. The bulk water quality parameters were analyzed via established techniques and procedures for routine water quality monitoring and analysis (APHA 1992, 1998, 2017). In 2014, CIGLR deployed moored buoys to collect real-time physical, chemical, and biological water quality data during the summer season. There are now four moored buoys deployed during the open water season in western Lake Erie that collect in situ data for the following parameters, average wind speed, maximum wind speed, air temperature, barometric pressure, depth, water temperature, specific conductivity, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a, phycocyanin, dissolved organic matter, nitrate, and phosphate. These data were collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (NOAA-GLERL) and the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) to support NOAA-GLERL’s operational development of the Lake Erie harmful algal bloom (HAB) forecasts and to directly monitor microcystin concentrations within the ecosystem. This work is supported in part by Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and is part of the Decision Support Tools to link predictions to HABs and source water protection, Synthesis Observation and Response (SOAR) project, and Real-time Environmental Coastal Observation Network (ReCON). onGoing historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:GLERL-CIGLR-HAB-LakeErie-water-qual Preview graphic PNG 0187718 0190201 0190729 0194301 0194302 0209116 0254720 0276355 0292222 0293514 0303633 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2024-10-27 publication AIR TEMPERATURE AMMONIA (NH3) Attenuation/Transmission BAROMETRIC PRESSURE BEAM ATTENUATION COEFFICIENT biological data CHLOROPHYLL CHLOROPHYLL - EXTRACTED CHLOROPHYLL A Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) CONDUCTIVITY DEPTH - OBSERVATION DEPTH - SENSOR diatom DISSOLVED ORGANIC CARBON DISSOLVED ORGANIC MATTER DISSOLVED OXYGEN harmful algal blooms (HABs) LIGHT TRANSMISSION NITRATE nitrate + nitrite content (concentration) NITRITE PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON PARTICULATE ORGANIC NITROGEN (PON) pH phosphate PHOSPHATE - SOLUBLE REACTIVE PHOTOSYNTHETIC ACTIVE RADIATION (PAR) PHYTOPLANKTON Secchi depth suspended solids TOTAL PHOSPHORUS TOXIN turbidity UREA water depth WATER TEMPERATURE WAVE HEIGHT WIND DIRECTION - AVERAGE WIND SPEED WIND SPEED - AVERAGE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS anemometer buoy - moored buoy CHN Analyzer CTD flow injection analyzer fluorometer meteorological sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor nutrient autoanalyzer PCR machine Secchi disk spectrophotometer thermometer turbidity sensor instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological in situ laboratory analyses moored buoy theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS moored buoys platform NODC PLATFORM NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory University of Michigan Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Great Lakes place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/OAR/GLERL > Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, OAR, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian anemometer anemometer measures wind speed An anemometer is an instrument that measures wind speed. Note that an aerovane (insttypes_id 175) is an anemometer which has a tail and a propeller to measure the speed and direction of the wind. buoy - moored buoy buoy - moored buoy a moored buoy does not measure anything. it is a platform for instruments, which do measure things. CHN Analyzer CHN Analyzer Carbon, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen Analyzer Instrument used for measuring carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen in organic and other types of materials. CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe flow injection analyzer flow injection analyzer automated chemical analysis instrument An instrument that performs flow injection analysis. Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an approach to chemical analysis that is accomplished by injecting a plug of sample into a flowing carrier stream. FIA is an automated method in which a sample is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution that mixes with other continuously flowing solutions before reaching a detector. Precision is dramatically increased when FIA is used instead of manual injections and as a result very specific FIA systems have been developed for a wide array of analytical techniques. https://www.bco-dmo.org/instrument/657 (accessed 2018-01-26) Laboratory instrument that analyzes multiple media for ions. The media include various solids and liquids. Models include: QuikChem 8000 Series FIA System fluorometer fluorometer fluorometer meteorological sensor meteorological sensor Any meteorological sensor, but also see specific instruments such as aerovane, anemometer, etc. multi-parameter water quality sensor multi-parameter water quality sensor used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters Instrument used to measure temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and other parameters, often used to measure water quality parameters. Can be a hand-held instrument or a sonde for unattended monitoring. Often used in coastal water monitoring stations. YSI is the preeminent brand (as of 2024). nutrient autoanalyzer nutrient autoanalyzer Laboratory Instrument Nutrient Autoanalyzer is a generic term describing an automated flow-thru system used to conduct analyses of several different nutrients (nitrate, ammonium, orthophosphate, and silicate) simultaneously from a seawater sample. For example: SEAL AutoAnalyzer 3 HR Continuous Segmented Flow Analyzer PCR machine PCR machine thermal cycler, thermocycler, PCR machine, DNA amplifier The thermal cycler (also known as a thermocycler, PCR machine or DNA amplifier) is a laboratory apparatus most commonly used to amplify segments of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_cycler, 2017-05-02. Secchi disk Secchi disk The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc), as created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi, is a plain white, circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. [Wikipedia, 2021-09-02] spectrophotometer spectrophotometer spectrophotometer, optical spectrometer, spectrograph or spectroscope An optical spectrometer (spectrophotometer, spectrograph or spectroscope) is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. Butler, L. R. P.; Laqua, K. (1995). "Nomenclature, symbols, units and their usage in spectrochemical analysis-IX.
