        abstract:  NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory collected the data from moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network, ReCON, Toledo Channel Marker #2 Buoy (NDBC station THLO1), Lake Erie, an in-situ moored station, in the Great Lakes. Oceanographic observations were collected during the open water seasons of 2005 and 2006. Surface meteorological observations of air temperature and wind speed and direction were collected in August and September of 2004 and continuously from 2005-2019. This station is also known as NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station Toledo Light No. 2 (THLO1). A temporal subset of these data are available from NDBC, this data accession contains the complete record of observations. The ReCON buoy provides continuous, real-time observations facilitates modification of sampling parameters in anticipation of episodic events, facilitates collection of field samples in response to episodic events, supports long term research, and contributes to sensor and system development. Parameters collected include currents, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, wave height, wave period, wave direction, and water temperature.
        purpose:  The goal of the ReCON project is to develop a national network of coastal buoys capable of seabed to sea-surface observations. This wireless Internet observation system, with shore stations at coastal locations covering approximately 800 square miles of sea surface, uses commercially available networking equipment allowing straightforward integration into a nationwide network. Each system collects meteorological data and provides sub-surface measurements of chemical, biological, and physical parameters. The system is designed to allow controlled access to multi-institutional users through surface buoys and sub-surface sensor guest ports located on an underwater hub. The observation network currently provides environmental data to state, federal, and university researchers, educators and resource managers.

            type:  oceanic dropsonde
            description:  The oceanic dropsonde, or dropsonde float, is a free falling instrument that records the temperature, conductivity, pressure and average current velocity in a vertical column of water. The instrument is dropped into the ocean at a known position. It descends at a constant rate to the bottom; weights are released on bottom contact, and then the instrument ascends to the surface. The distance between the drop point and the point were the instruments first surfaces, represents the total vertically accumulated drift during the period of descent and ascent.
