    The Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) is an effort dedicated to providing wide internet access to real-time and historic data on the hydrology, biology, chemistry, geology and cultural resources of the Great Lakes, its interconnecting waterways and the St. Lawrence River. GLOS is a regional node of the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) initiative. The IOOS is a federal, regional, and private-sector partnership working to enhance our ability to collect, deliver, and use ocean information. GLOS recently announced that it received funding through a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to assist efforts to monitor the Great Lakes and assess critical information needs in the region. The $1,080,815 grant was provided through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) for supporting observing systems in the Great Lakes.
