BUILDING NEW MARKETS FOR SCIENTIFIC DATASETS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES

Maintaining annual funding to support operation and maintenance costs for observation networks is challenging. This presentation will highlight two case studies where public-private partnerships are used to sustain long term observation stations in Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. The first case study looks at the Lake Michigan Nearshore Buoy Network, which is made up of 16 real-time buoys that are owned/deployed by 10 different organizations. Funding for each station comprises a mix of public/private partners, however all 16 stations report a similar parameter set to a common data management system A combined 100 station years of data have been collected by this network over the last ten years to support models and a range of near real-time decisions. The second case study focuses on the buoy and shoreline intake monitoring network in Lake Erie to support forecasting of Harmful Algal Blooms and hypoxia. A network stations began reporting real-time lake conditions after the 2014 Toledo Water Crisis, which eventually lead to the development of a 22 station network comprised of sensors and buoys from 16 different organizations.
