Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA) and various partners have outfitted the Lake Erie Watershed with a state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure and hundreds of advanced sensors, making it the largest digitally connected freshwater body in the world. This extensive monitoring network consists of more than 30 in-situ buoys and land-based sensors monitoring a wide variety of water quality, water level, and weather parameters using various water monitoring technologies. As there are estimated more than 9 million observations recorded per year for this monitoring network, it is critical to maintain QA/QC standards while ensuring the data is accessible. CWA is actively working with partners to develop a multi-tiered data access platform catered to different data user groups. In addition, CWA is also looking to include other relevant datasets in the data-sharing platform, such as remotely sensed data. This presentation will present latest developments on the data-sharing platforms so far, and some background information on the Lake Erie sensor network.
