Deployment history of sensors recording dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, conductivity, and light levels in ponds 1, 2, and 3 during May - November 2014.

Methods & Sampling

EXO2, YSI TIDE1, YSI PIE1, YSI PIE2, HOBODO1, and HOBODO2 recorded dissolved oxygen concentrations and temperature.

EXO2, YSI TIDE1, YSI PIE1, YSI PIE2, HOBO Cond848 and HOBO Cond2 recorded conductivity

HOBOpendant loggers recorded light (lumens) and temperature.

All instruments recorded data in 15 min intervals.

Data Processing Description

Instruments

Conductivity Meter

Supplied Name: EXO2, YSI TIDE1, YSI PIE1, YSI PIE2, HOBO Cond848 and HOBO Cond2

Supplied Description:

Recorded conductivity

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Conductivity Meter

Generic Description:

Conductivity Meter - An electrical conductivity meter (EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity in a solution. Commonly used in hydroponics, aquaculture and freshwater systems to monitor the amount of nutrients, salts or impurities in the water.

Light Meter

Supplied Name: HOBOpendant loggers

Supplied Description:

Recorded light (lumens) and temperature.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Light Meter

Generic Description:

Light meters are instruments that measure light intensity. Common units of measure for light intensity are umol/m2/s or uE/m2/s (micromoles per meter squared per second or microEinsteins per meter squared per second). (example: LI-COR 250A)

Oxygen Sensor

Supplied Name: EXO2, YSI TIDE1, YSI PIE1, YSI PIE2, HOBODO1, and HOBODO2

Supplied Description:

Recorded dissolved oxygen concentrations and temperature.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Oxygen Sensor

Acronym: Dissolved Oxygen Sensor

Generic Description:

An electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being analyzed

Water Temperature Sensor

Supplied Name: EXO2, YSI TIDE1, YSI PIE1, YSI PIE2, HOBODO1, and HOBODO2

Supplied Description:

Recorded dissolved oxygen concentrations and temperature.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Water Temperature Sensor

Acronym: Water Temp Sensor

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/

Generic Description:

General term for an instrument that measures the temperature of the water with which it is in contact (thermometer).
