Lake Champlain level, lake temperature, and tributary discharge data is collected by the US Geological Survey.

The Lamoille River and Malletts Bay buoys are part of a pilot study to upgrade and modernize the Lake Champlain Long-term Monitoring Program. They are instrumented with an array of water quality and weather sensors that measure several parameters every 15 minutes. These buoys are supported by the Lake Champlain Basin Program, in partnership with New York and Vermont Departments of Environmental Conservation and SUNY Plattsburgh.

The Valcour buoy is supported by the Lake Champlain Basin Program. Previous funding was provided by Lake Champlain Sea Grant.

The Missisquoi and St. Albans bay buoys are supported by the Lake Champlain Basin Program and are maintained in partnership with the University of Vermont.

Satellite imagery is captured by the NASA MODIS program, and images are retrieved from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center.
