Overview
The Aanderaa 5217 Tide Sensor is a compact, fully integrated sensor for measuring tidal conditions. The sensor is designed to be mounted on the Aanderaa SeaGuardII top-end plate or in other measurement systems using the RS-232 interface. The tide measurement is an average of the hydrostatic pressure measured over a time period of 10 seconds to 8 minutes (integration time is configurable by the user). The update interval is between 1 second and 255 minutes.

Mechanics
The Tide sensor output parameters are Tide Pressure, Tide Level, Pressure and Temperature. Tide levels are preliminary, internally calculated estimates based on fixed, user-selectable values of atmospheric pressure and water salinity. Compensation for actual atmospheric pressure and salinity can be post-processed if such data is available. Tide Pressure is an average of hydrostatic pressure over the integration time.

Data Storage
Since all calibration and temperature compensation data are stored inside the sensor, the parameters are, by default, presented directly in engineering units without any external calculation. The sensor also provides raw data on the pressure and temperature measurements.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute

Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurment

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
