The data is transmitted real-time using acoustic modems hourly. The YSI records bottom water temperature, conductivity/salinity, pressure/depth, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, turbidity and pH and sits at about 35 ft depth.

The Watchman500 transmits ASCII strings with the data via a cellular antenna hourly to a shoreside server. The data is processed (including administering Qa/Qc flags) and then updated on the website in real-time.
