The buoy is one of four buoys and two relay-poles being deployed on Lizard Island as part of the GBROOS Project. The design looks to measure the water within the lagoon as well as water impinging onto the reef and potentially any upwelling or movement of warm water that may cause thermal stress such as coral bleaching. The buoys initially have a Campbell Scientific loggers powered off four 5W solar panels, a wind turbine and one thermistor located at the base of the buoy around 60cm below the water line. The buoys use a Campbell Scientific spread-spectrum radio as well as 802.11 Wi-Fi to talk back to Relay Pole 2 and then to Replay-Pole 1 and then to the Base Station. {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [145.43995, -14.683833]} 145.43995 145.43995 -14.683833 -14.683833 AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
