The Seametrics BaroSCOUT 2X Smart Sensor is designed to measure barometric pressure, along with temperature. It is an ideal companion to the LevelSCOUT 2X absolute pressure/level sensors and can be used to adjust their readings for atmospheric pressure.
This industry standard digital RS485 interface device records up to 100,000 records of pressure, temperature, and time data, operates with low power, and features easy-to-use Aqua4Plus 2.0 software with powerful features. Constructed with 316 stainless steel, acetal, and Viton, this sensor provides high-accuracy readings in rugged and corrosive field conditions.
The BaroSCOUT 2X utilizes an extremely rugged and stable piezo-electric media-isolated pressure element combined with a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter. This provides extremely accurate and stable pressure input into the microprocessor on the circuit board that measures the pressure and stores the data in non-volatile memory.
A replaceable 2/3 AA 3.6v lithium battery powers the BaroSCOUT 2X. The unit is programmed using our easy-to-use control software. Once programmed the unit will measure and collect data at the time interval programmed.
While most will use the BaroSCOUT 2X with Seametrics’ Aqua4Plus 2.0 software, it is by no means limited to that software. You can use your own software or logging equipment to read measurements via RS485 and/or SDI-12, tying into your existing telemetry and control systems.
Note: The BaroSCOUT 2X is intended for use in atmosphere—not to be submerged.

Applied Research and Innovative Solutions: Creating CHNGES at Western Kentucky University
Long-standing environmental monitoring programs have the power to support a large number of research initiatives and policy changes—however, actually starting these networks can prove challenging. Not only is starting the program difficult, but keeping things operational for decades to come has also been challenging for environmental professionals hoping to make an impact with applied research. 
 
Jason Polk, Professor of Environmental Geoscience and Director of the Center for Human GeoEnvironmental Studies (CHNGES) at Western Kentucky University, is all too familiar with this process.

The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. 
 
Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. 
 
Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. 
 
 Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. 
 
 The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.
