This project will deploy low-cost, in-lake observing platforms capable of capturing the full wave spectrum in real-time. Deployments will initially focus on the Great Lakes, but are ultimately scalable to any coastline. These platforms will: address the high frequency water level fluctuations gap and the evaluate their coastal impacts; collect year-round, in-lake data, providing timely information related to coastal hazards; and offer interested communities low-cost, easy-to-use monitoring platforms to enhance the spatial resolution of the observing network.
