Abstract :
The goal of this project is to create an inexpensive, easily fabricated, stratified underwater temperature sensing system. The motivation for studying temperature is the seasonal thermal stratification within the Great Lakes, which affects oxygen levels throughout the year. Oxygen levels will in turn affect the life cycles of the lake´s living organisms. The temperature system presented here is useful for studying the lake´s dynamic physical structure
