Today, researchers dropped a buoy in Lake Superior without an anchor and let it drift away.

A collaboration between Michigan Tech and the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS), this “drifter buoy” is floating near the north entry of Portage Canal off the coast of the Keweenaw Peninsula, and it’s collecting data on the wind, waves, water temperature, and currents as it travels.
