Long-baseline limnological stations — shore-mounted or on moored buoys — for stratification, eutrophication and contaminant-flux studies in lakes, reservoirs and rivers.
The constraints that shape every design decision
Capturing thermal and chemical structure needs depth-resolved sensing on a profiling or multi-depth string, not a single point.
Nutrient, chlorophyll and dissolved-oxygen swings demand frequent, drift-stable logging through bloom and turnover events.
Buoy stations must hold station, ride changing levels and resist biofouling that would corrupt readings.
Our response to the environment above
A self-powered buoy or shore cabinet hosts the analytical bench with depth-distributed sensors and a profiling option.
DO, temperature, pH, turbidity and nutrient proxies are logged across the water column to resolve stratification and flux.
Wipers, copper-guarded optics and scheduled self-cleaning preserve calibration between service visits.
Lakes and rivers are not well-mixed; a single surface reading misses the story. These stations resolve the water column over a long baseline, so stratification onset, internal loading and contaminant flux are quantified rather than inferred — the same science behind our reservoir and lake work.
