But more importantly the crew loved the summery beany salad I made for them 😁

Launched the GB17 buoy (45014) after a weather delay in June. A few gear casualties recovered before successful deployment! Provides weather, wave, and temperature data via GLOS’ Seagull portal. Jessie Grow, Captain Max, Brandon, and Logan made the trip to Green Bay. 🌊☀️

You know your boss is cool when they bring you an old manual about oceanographic winch, wire, and cable technology to show you this drawing. Just to help brighten your day.

P.S. It totally worked ��

Guys guys guys the SWC buoy’s temperature data is magically working. Data is available for the past week - proof that buoy gremlins DO exist and we all just try to work in their mischievous universe.

And yes I was so excited I opted for a photo of my comp screen. 😅

I’m super late to repost this… and it may or may not be because I’m painfully shy and slightly embarrassed of my THICK Wisconsin accent, but hey, it was fun! 🤩

Welp - things got a little dicey today and we decided it would be unsafe to continue with 45014’s deployment (despite this photo, which was taken much later after said dicey-times.) We’ll try again in a few weeks. 😞

[Jessie Grow @j_worg]

Green Bay buoy 45014 is on her way north for deployment! Keep your peepers peeled for live data tomorrow afternoon. 💚

Also… the Sheboygan SWC buoy 45218 has been behaving badly, so she’ll be hauled in for inspection on Friday. Keep your🤞🏻 for a quick rehabilitation. ❤️‍🩹

Three locations down, two to go! Buoy season is in full swing. I may or may not need at least 2 weeks off and a 4 hour massage and manicure after the last buoy drops 🧘‍♀️🧖‍♀️💅

[Jessie Grow @j_worg]

Another day, another buoy! Acronyms & partners abound for this system but the Sheboygan Shipwreck Sentinel 45218 is now live!

Thanks for a fun, safe, & successful mission, NOAA dudes! 🤘🏻

Salmon Unlimited buoy 45199 is on her way to Racine for deployment!

Current water temp at the Atwater buoy is a chilly 43.2°F

Fun fact, I was today years old when I learned how to find the degree symbol on my phone. 🤓

Data is also live @databuoycenter - curious where our local weather teams pull water temps from? 👀

Atwater buoy is locked and loaded - ready for launch! 💚

And I meant *SUW* 45199… oof it’s been a day.

[Jessie Grow @j_worg]

Getting closer to deployment! SWC 45199 and ATW20 45013 buoys should be out the door in the coming weeks.
Can’t wait to see the little buoy icons for water temp on my favorite morning news channels!

@mbkavinsky @sanctuaries @waterscienceUWM @FondriestEnv Hi Marc! Yes, this buoy will have a full sensor suite, including weather, waves, current profile, temperature profile, and surface water quality.

[Jessie Grow @j_worg]

NOAA’s Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary buoy is coming together nicely! Pretty proud of this DIY lid situation. Keep an eye out for another beefy long-term monitoring platform offshore of Sheboygan this year 💚

@DrChrisKellogg @darkmicrobio This was also my suggestion 😂
I haven’t had too much trouble with tampering. Depending on your setup and instrumentation/structure, locks might deter folks enough or making sure they’re far enough away from public access points. Are you working in big open water or rivers etc.?

[Jessie Grow @j_worg]

Buoy weather sensor upgrades - can you tell which ones are being retired this year? 💛
