Resumen:
As part of IADO Limnology and Hydrology Program, a buoy has been fully
designed and built at the Equipment Development Lab (EDL). The floating
platform is 1 m in diameter and, including all the instruments, weights
35 kg. Although it can have a much large number of sensors, for its
mooring at the Sauce Grande shallow lake (about 2 m depth) the buoy was
only equipped with wind velocity and direction, humidity and air
temperature for the meteorological parameters, while for the water
parameters the buoy measures temperature, conductivity, suspended
sediment concentration and water level. All sensors as well as the
datalogger were also designed and built at EDL. Data is gathered every 5
min and transmitted to the IADO server every 30 min via GPRS. As the
information is received, the data is automatically displayed on the
emac.criba.edu.ar web page. The buoy was moored on February 17, 2011.
