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.

From Hurricanes to Florida’s Red Tides: Monitoring the Southwest Gulf Coast

Nearly every year, southwest Florida is blighted by harmful Karenia brevis blooms–known colloquially as Florida red tides.  These harmful algal blooms (HABs) form over the West Florida shelf and are pushed shorewards by winds and currents. Once in touching distance of the coast, they often intensify, fed by land-based runoff, anthropogenic nutrients, and decomposing marine life killed by toxins produced by these red tides. Red tides have become more severe and persistent over the past 20 years, causing major environmental and economic damage.

Wave-Powered Buoy Deployed in Puget Sound

While the development of solar-powered monitoring systems has improved access to real-time environmental data, solar power is still limited by low light conditions, such as poor weather, nighttime, or high-latitude environments.  To supplement these incumbent power solutions at sea, Ocean Motion Technologies has developed a small-scale ocean wave energy system that can be directly integrated with existing data buoy platforms. Not only does wave energy supplement solar power during periods when the buoys are limited by light availability, but it also allows data buoys to perform beyond their current power capacities.

Long-Term Monitoring in the Chautauqua Lake Watershed

With a widely developed shoreline, Chautauqua Lake experiences influxes of non-point source pollution that have historically impacted the health of the lake. The Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) has been monitoring the lake for over two decades, reporting on changes that have occurred over the years. A pair of local lake advocates, Jane and Doug Conroe, have lived on the lake for over 40 years and have played an important role in establishing monitoring programs and facilitating consistent data collection throughout the watershed. Doug has been involved with the Chautauqua Lake Association (CLA) since the pair moved to the area in 1980, and is currently serving as the Executive Director.
