Overview
The Aanderaa 4117 Pressure Sensor is a compact yet intelligent sensor designed to be used on the Aanderaa SeaGuard as well as in other measuring systems using RS-232 output. The sensor is based on a silicon piezo-resistive bridge sampled and temperature compensated by an advanced Digital Signal Processor. The sensor is housed in a rugged titanium cylinder.
Mechanics
Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the pressure is by default, presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. Raw data can be selected as additional output. Two parameters are available; Pressure and Temperature. The Smart Sensors can be mounted directly on the top-end plate of the SeaGuard and are automatically detected and recognized.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Monitoring Meadowbrook Creek: Real-Time Data Collection in an Urban Creek
Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.

Lancaster County Makes the Switch to Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring Systems
Continuous data collection in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started about 5 years ago, and the county will be making a major upgrade over the next year—switching from relying solely on the internal storage of water quality sondes to telemetry units that enable real-time data viewing. [caption id="attachment_39295" align="alignnone" width="940"] The first telemetry unit was installed at LCCD along Little Conestoga Creek.
