The buoy system for measuring water quality and weather information was deployed in Devils Lake, North Dakota, yesterday, May 28 2019. This is the 8th season the buoy was deployed. This year again it will record data every 10 minutes and transmitted the data to a server every 30 minutes for public access at https://v2.wqdatalive.com/public/179. […]

The ESSP department has operated a buoy for monitoring the water quality in Devils Lake since the summer of 2011. During the winter times, the buoy was taken back to our lab for annual maintenance and calibration. We launched the buoy back to the lake on May 12, 2017 with the help from ND’s Department […]

To monitor water quality in Devils Lake, a buoy has been deployed since 2011 measuring several water parameters (temperature, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll concentration, turbidity) and meteorological parameters (temerature, pressure, winds). The buoy is launched after the lake is unfrozen and retrieved before the winter, taking measurements for approximately 6 months every year.
The buoy measuring the water quality was launched in Devils Lake On Aug. 19, 2014. This is the 4th year of the field observation led by Dr. Xiaodong Zhang for monitoring both short- and long-term changes of water quality in Devils Lake. The real-time data acquired every 10 minutes can be accessed via http://www.wqdatalive.com/public/179. The launched […]
