Overview
The Global Water WE900 Weather Station is an easy-to-use and economical weather station for monitoring many weather conditions. The weather station is designed to be a drop-in weather monitoring station for easy integration with existing systems. The weather station's 4-20mA sensors will interface with any SCADA, PLC, or RTU system that can accept a 4-20mA input.
Installation
Global Water's Weather Station includes full assembly on a sturdy and durable stainless steel tube frame that can be mounted onto a pre-existing base or onto the WE830 Global Water Tripod for proper installation. The unit is designed for durability and endurance in harsh conditions. The WE770 Solar Shield, a ventilated sun shield with high reflectiveness, low heat retention, and low thermoconductivity, is provided as protection and a mounting platform for the Temperature and Humidity sensors.
Includes the following weather sensors and installation hardware:
- WE550 Wind Speed Sensor
- WE570 Wind Direction Sensor
- WE700 Temperature Sensor
- WE600 Humidity Sensor
- Solar Radiation Shield
- WE820 Weather Station Mounting Frame
- Junction box

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question.

Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.
