New Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes data buoy tracks polymictic lake’s oxygen dynamics
A new data buoy launched this year in New Zealand’s Lake Rerewhakaaitu is providing scientists with insights into the polymictic lake’s oxygen dynamics and water column production. Polymictic lakes turn over many times per year. 
 
The next-generation profiler is overseen by the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Programme and uses an automated winch to raise and lower sensors on a regular basis. 
 
“The winch allows us to use a single package of water quality instruments to measure multiple depths through the water column,” said Chris McBride, technician at the University of Waikato who is helping the RTA Lakes Programme oversee the buoy.

As part of IBM’s Smarter Planet initiative, the company has poured millions into projects around the world to test out some of its new technologies and has gotten some good clippings in the press along the way. One well-known offshoot of this effort is Watson, the computer that famously beat human opponents at Jeopardy. 
 
But the initiative goes much farther than Watson, and some of the same engineers who worked on the supercomputer project have already turned their eyes to another one: the Jefferson Project, a joint effort between IBM, The FUND for Lake George and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute that is pushing the limits on lake monitoring.

With oceans becoming more acidic worldwide, scientists are getting creative in designing experiments to study them. For example, one group at the University of Washington is using giant plastic bags to study ocean acidification. 
 Each bag holds about 3,000 liters of seawater and sits in a cylinder-like cage for stability. The group at UW, made up of professors and students, is controlling carbon dioxide levels in the bags over a nearly three-week period, during which they are looking at the effects of increased acidity on organisms living near the San Juan Islands. 
 “These mesocosms are a way to do a traditional experiment you might do in a lab or classroom,” said Jim Murray, professor of oceanography at the University of Washington.
