Lake Winnipeg Buoy Data

Canadian meteorological buoy data are collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada. This subset consisting of Lake Winnipeg meteorological buoy data is extracted from two data streams from the [**Canadian Integrated Ocean Observing System (CIOOS)**](https://cioospacific.ca/) ERDDAP:

1. **Older buoy data** reporting via an old communication network: [CIOOS ERDDAP](https://data.cioospacific.ca/erddap/tabledap/DFO_MEDS_BUOYS.html#_gl=1*1am31im*_ga*NjUwMzAzNTcuMTczMTA3NzEyMA..*_ga_B7XMBXNSYV*MTczMTA3NzEyMC4xLjAuMTczMTA3NzEyMC4wLjAuMA..)

2. **Current buoy data** reporting in the new communication network: [CIOOS ERDDAP](https://data.cioospacific.ca/erddap/tabledap/ECCC_MSC_BUOYS.html#_gl=1*138alek*_ga*MTI2MDIyNjI4Mi4xNzI4Mzk2MDk1*_ga_B7XMBXNSYV*MTczMDgyMDMzNS4xMS4xLjE3MzA4MjE5MTguMC4wLjA.)

These buoys are seasonal and are placed in the lake at the beginning of the open water season and removed before ice cover in the fall (approximately May-September).

**Please see the log file under Supplemental below for important details and QC notes on the collection and streaming of this data.**
