Lacey,

I made edits to the title and last paragraph of the abstract below.  Please see 
the changes below and confirm if these are acceptable.

Title -  moved "water" to in front of "meteorological".
Oceanographic and surface water meteorological parameter data collected from 
moored Realtime Coastal Observation Network (ReCON), Alpena Buoy 
(NDBC station 45162), Lake Huron, in the Great Lakes region by NOAA Great Lakes 
Environmental Research Laboratory from 2005-05-23 to 2019-10-24. 
(NCEI Accession 0213376)  

Abstract- edited the second sentence of the second paragraph as below.
NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory collected the data from moored 
Realtime Coastal Observation Network (ReCON), Alpena Buoy (NDBC station 45162), 
Lake Huron, an in-situ moored station, in the Great Lakes. Observations were 
collected during the open water seasons of 2005-2008, 2010, and 2012-2019. 
This station is also known as NOAA National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) station Thunder 
Bay Buoy, Alpena, MI (45162). A temporal subset of these data are available from 
NDBC and the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) since 2012, 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, 
water temperature, other oceanographic parameters, and meteorological parameters. The 
block of text at the beginning of each file contains information about the location 
and sensor used to collect data and the data headers followed by the observed data. 
Column 1 of the data is the timestamp, column 2 is the observed data, and column 3, 
where applicable, the QARTOD flag. Five QARTOD tests were run including gross range, 
climatological, spike, rate of change, and flat line tests. The highest value from the 
five tests were included under the “Qartod” column. If data were known to be invalid, 
that line of data was removed from the dataset.edit

Thank you,

Jonathan
