Overview
The Solar Radiation Shield enhances daytime temperature accuracy, even in direct sunlight. The radiation shield provides shade for the WQ101 Temperature Sensor and the WE600 Relative Humidity Sensor while allowing ample ambient airflow. This shield replaces the WE770 solar radiation shield.

Design
The new shield comes with the brackets and fittings to hold the WQ101 Temperature Sensor and the WE600 Humidity Sensor. It also comes ready to mount on the 1” stainless steel tube frame for the WE800 and WE900 weather stations. The solar shield offers easy installation and includes an integrated hanger, allowing for multiple mounting options. The shield has been treated to resist degradation resulting from exposure to UV rays, but the overall lifespan will depend on where and how the shield is mounted.

Questions & Answers
How many sensors can fit under the shield?
The WE770 Solar shield can house up to two sensors.
Will the shield protect from rain?
The Global Water solar shield will protect sensors from vertical precipitation, but is not guaranteed against blowing rain.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

SonTek CastAway-CTD Meter Review

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.

Monitoring Kentucky’s Water Resources with Drone Imaging and Unmanned Surface Vehicles

Wesley Turner, an Environmental Scientist Advisor with the GIS and Data Analysis Section of the Watershed Management Branch in the Kentucky Division of Water , spends his days researching current technology and developing various drone programs for the Division of Water. Having grown up during Love Canal and Valley of the Drums, Turner decided at a young age that he wanted to become a scientist and spend his life trying to right humanity’s wrongs and protect the environment. “I loved looking at the plants and animals on the farm where I lived. I wondered at the beauty and mystery of the soil and water in the surrounding fields. As I grew older, I learned of the problems our species caused on the planet […] I remember thinking things had to change,” recalls Turner.
