Wind direction (degrees)350°
Wind Speed

Higher wind speed increases dissolved oxygen (and pushes debris to the shores)

0.089 m/h
AirTemp

Warm air warms the water, which encourages algae growth

61.9°F
Relative Humidity91.7
Barometric PRessure

Higher pressure is generally associated with clear weather

1010
Rain (15 Minutes) (mm)

More rain yields more flow, and can introduce more nutrients to the water

0
Sunlight (umolsm2)

Sunlight encourages algae growth

-0.134
Water Level (ft)

Water levels above 195' contribute to debris floating into the lake. Use caution at any level.

Lake Lillinonah Buoy Data

Updated 05/21/12 11:55 pm

DO bottom

DO readings are generally lower in lake bottoms, due to decomposition of organic matter and lack of air contact.

7.16
Bottom Temp

Cooler water at the bottom of the lake indicates stratification of water levels

58.7°F
Surface Temp

Warm water encourages algae growth

67.3°F
Sp Cond

Measures the presence of salt in the water; in our case the result of point- and non-point sources of pollution.

269.0000
pH

Measures the concentration of Hydrogen ions; affected by pollutants and natural processes. pH determines the solubulity of chemicals, and affects the toxicity of the water.

8.22
DO surface

Readings above 6 are healthy for fish; between 5 and six indicate moderate impairment; below 5 indicate severe impairment and mortality.
