Case Study
Long Island Sound: Water Quality
The University of Connecticut, Dept. of Marine Sciences is overseeing a project in Long Island Sound that provides water quality
information to the public. The project, called MYSound (Monitoring Your Sound), currently consists of three data buoys and a weather
station. Two more buoys and two weather stations will be added soon. A CR10X datalogger is at the core of each measurement station.
Monitored parameters include: dissolved oxygen, conductivity/salinity, and temperature. Future measurements may include transmissivity,
chlorophyll A, nutrients/nitrate, and surface hydrocarbons. Data is available from the MYSound Web site.
