Current Conditions

in-situ


in-situ water column temperature from buoy
Lake Number calculated from buoy
LN > 1 indicates strong stratification
LN < 1 indicates the lake is prone to mixing by wind

modeled


modeled water column temperature from GLM
Lake Number modeled from GLM
LN > 1 indicates strong stratification
LN < 1 indicates the lake is prone to mixing by wind

wind speed

wind speed from buoy
used to calculate buoy LN
wind speed from USACE
used to model LN

chlorophyll & ORP

Chlorophyll from buoy
ORP from buoy

- in-situ charts are made with data collected from a high frequency real-time buoy
- modeled charts are made using the General Lake Model and USACE data
- wind speed is collected from the buoy and from the USACE Marion Dam station
