Weather Station


The Vaisala WXT510 Weather station (multi-parameter meteorological station, digital RS-232 interface) was used to collect general weather data and climate conditions.
 

Buoy-Mounted Sensors


GLEON researchers mounted sensors on buoys to collect information from the lake; the data is sent back to the lab in real-time utilizing wireless technology
 

Sensors from the Boat


UCLA researchers also lowered sensors via fishing lines into the lake to test water conditions at various depths.
