Overview
The Aanderaa RCM Blue is a self-recording Current Meter which also measures water temperature as standard and pressure as optional. The Doppler Current Sensor is an upgraded version of the proven SeaGuard ZPulse sensor. The instrument configuration and data retrieval is done via Bluetooth, which eliminates the need to open the pressure case for repeated deployments. The DCS sensors are based on the backscatter acoustic Doppler principle.

Mechanics
The DCS measures in both directions on each axis and is insensitive to disturbance from vortex speeds around the sensor itself and the mooring line when the forward ping feature is enabled. The Aanderaa RCM Blue's multi-frequency technique reduces the required number of pings needed in order to achieve an acceptable statistical error. The achieved measurement precision is proportional to the inverse of the square root of the number of ping measurements in a measurement interval.

Wildfires and Wildlife: Relocating Coastal Rainbow Trout to the Arroyo Seco Stream

Human interaction has negatively impacted the hundreds of streams that run through Southern California. Man-made river and stream diversions, channeling, and damming have changed the physical and chemical characteristics of these waterways. In addition to physical impairments, climate change is increasingly impacting the ecosystems of streams. To evaluate and mitigate these negative impacts, local groups are monitoring the riparian habitats of these streams and are conducting water surveys that document rainbow trout populations and evaluate water quality .

Bringing Fish Back: Reviving Britain’s Freshwater Habitats with the Wild Trout Trust

Freshwater covers less than 1% of the Earth’s surface but has an outsized impact on global ecosystems, supporting more than 10% of all known species, reports the World Wildlife Fund . Freshwater environments such as rivers and wetlands provide significant scientific, economic, and cultural value. But pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and a lack of prioritization in environmental policies mean freshwater habitats are recognized as one of the most threatened in the world–something scientists have dubbed an “invisible tragedy. ” [caption id="attachment_39210" align="alignnone" width="940"] Remedial works underway to shore up the banks of the River Ecclesbourne.

Monitoring and Facilitating Habitat Restoration Efforts in the Great Lakes

While human infrastructure, urbanization, and industrialization have advanced human societies, the natural environment has suffered due to constructed impediments and deteriorating architecture. In order to combat this degradation, habitat restoration programs across the US work to remove impairments and improve damaged waterways.
