Airmar EchoRange SS510 Smart Sonar Depth Sensor

Overview
Pairing the Airmar EchoRange SS510 Smart Sensor with a computer or data logger provides a low-cost, portable hydrographic survey system. The EchoRange can also be fixed to a bridge abutment or pillar for unattended monitoring of scouring conditions.

Data Collection
The sensor digitally processes depth and water temperature signals to communicate data via NMEA 0183 protocol. Using NMEA 0183, the sensor easily interfaces with computers or data collection platforms with a data output rate of up to 10 times per second. The EchoRange is constructed with a robust stainless steel housing and has a measurement range from 0.4m to 200m with 0.01m resolution.

Questions & Answers
How many conductors are in the data cable and what color is the cable jacket?
The data cable includes 4 twisted shielded pair conductors and the jacket is black in color.
What is the output protocol of this sensor?
The EchoRange SS510 sensor transfers data using the NMEA 0183 protocol via RS-422.
How is sound speed and draft set on the Airmar EchoRange SS510 sensor?
Page 28 of the Airmar EchoRange SS510 Smart Sonar Depth Sensor manual (www.fondriest.com/pdf/airmar_ss510_manual.pdf) describes how to set sound speed and draft via NEMA commands through a terminal program. 
What do the wire colors on the Airmar EchoRange SS510 Smart Sonar Depth Sensor cable with flying leads mean?
The wiring diagram can be found on the cables as well as in the wiring guide here: https://www.fondriest.com/pdf/airmar_ss510_wiring.pdf

Carbon and Nutrient Monitoring in the Great Lakes Using Satellite Observations

Carbon and nutrients are the foundation of lake food webs and play an important role in the chemical and physical processes that shape aquatic ecosystems and various lake dynamics. Studying these cornerstones can help improve understanding of other lake conditions like harmful algal blooms, hypoxia, and phytoplankton community composition. The way in which these characteristics are monitored varies, though many rely on a proxy approach wherein parameters are extrapolated from the measurement of a different parameter. An assistant professor at Cleveland State University, Brice Grunert, is working to improve current strategies and take a satellite approach to monitoring the Great Lakes.

Restoring North Texas Streams to Historical Flows

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the state, an area that is expected to face increasing water needs. In order to meet these demands, the Upper Trinity Regional Water District ( UTRWD ) is building Lake Ralph Hall near Ladonia in southeast Fannin County, Texas. The lake has been in the works since 2003, with construction finally beginning in 2021. The population of the UTRWD is expected to grow 5-fold over the next 50 years, leading to increased water use. Ed Motley, Program Manager with the UTRWD stresses that even with conservation and reuse, new sources like Lake Ralph Hall are essential to meeting near-term and long-term water needs to support regional growth.

Science for Science’s Sake: Monitoring Ocean Energy Availability and Gulf Stream Dynamics 

Scientific research often begins with a question, sometimes driven by a specific goal or application, but many scientists believe in science for science’s sake. Marine environments and physical dynamics like the Gulf Stream are popular fields of research due to their complexity and importance, presenting a unique opportunity to learn more about previously unexplored phenomena. Environmental researchers, in particular, see the value in these ecosystems, but many also grew up with a passion for the natural world, and choosing a field that allows them to interact with and learn about the environment around us is an easy choice.
