Hi Terry,

I found something that might also be worth mentioning tomorrow. One of your slides in the SG portion said Buoy data?. You may know this but NOAA has the National Data Buoy Center http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/obs.shtml that has pretty complete coverage in the Great lakes and the gulf. Not the river. Data is mostly weather related and physical (wave height, current, etc) but they do have dissolved oxygen and oxygen levels that might be useful on hypoxia and they have chlorophyll on some buoys.

It would be a great source to get the buoy data populated.
