Using an existing data-collection buoy, this project continuously tests the buoy for a one-year period to assess seasonal operations; to test a new anti-biofouling design for the light transmissivity and chlorophyll fluorescence sensors; and addition to the buoy of a temperature string and multi-level sampling to assess depth-dependent changes in temperature, transmissivity, and relative chlorophyll. This better informs and reduces overall costs in future buoy development for near-shore monitoring purposes.
