Every 10 minutes, temperature and dissolved oxygen sensors at depths ranging from 0.5-32 m (1.6-105 feet) report to a data logger that radios the information to a base station. You can see what is happening on Lake Auburn in close to real-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/environment\/lake-auburn-current-conditions\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The buoy is the product of a collaboration between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\">Bates College<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.awsd.org\">Auburn Water District<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lewistonmaine.gov\/index.aspx?NID=195\">Lewiston Water Division<\/a>, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/lakeauburnwater.org\/\">Lake Auburn Watershed Protection Commission<\/a>.
