Overview
The Onset HOBO TidbiT v2 Temperature Logger measures temperatures over a wide temperature range in outdoor and underwater environments. The TidbiT v2 provides 12-bit resolution and has ±0.2 °C accuracy. It is designed for outdoor and underwater environments and is waterproof to 300m (1000 ft). An optical USB interface allows users to offload data in seconds.
*Please note: A solar radiation shield is required to obtain accurate air temperature measurements in sunlight (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield, assembly required; or M-RSA pre-assembled Solar Radiation Shield).
Temperature Sensor
Operation range:* -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) in air; maximum sustained temperature of 30°C (86°F) in water*
Accuracy: ±0.21°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.38°F from 32° to 122°F)
Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C (0.04°F at 77°F)
Response time: 5 minutes in water; 12 minutes in air moving 2 m/sec; 20 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec (typical to 90%)
Stability (drift): 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year
Logger
Real-time clock: ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery: 3 Volt lithium, non-replaceable
Battery life (typical use): 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval
Memory (non-volatile): 64K bytes memory (approx. 42,000 12-bit temperature measurements)
Weight: 19.6 g (0.69 oz)
Dimensions: 3.0 × 4.1 × 1.7 cm (1.2 × 1.6 × 0.68 in.); mounting bail 4.6 mm (3/16 in.) diameter hole
Wetted materials: Epoxy case
Waterproof: To 305 m (1000 ft.)
Logging interval: Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 second to 18 hours. Refer to HOBOware software manual.
Launch modes: Immediate start, delayed start
Offload modes: Offload while logging; stop and offload
Battery indication: Battery level can be viewed in status screen and optionally logged in datafile. Low battery indication in datafile.
Environmental Rating: IP68
NIST certificate: Available for additional charge
* To guarantee accuracy, the TidbiT v2 Temp must not be used in condensing environments and water temperatures higher than 30C (86F) for more than eight cumulative weeks over the life of the logger. Frequent or prolonged exposure will lead to measurement drift and eventual failure.

Combating Water Insecurity in Saskatchewan with Real-Time Data
The prairies of Saskatchewan can be described as one of the least water-secure parts of Canada, making water quality monitoring essential for informed resource management in a region already facing water insecurity. While natural physical properties worsen some of the poor water quality conditions in the region, others are connected to land use. Having grown up spending summers on the shores of Lake Huron, Helen Baulch, an associate professor at the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan , has always been dedicated to the protection of water resources. Looking back fondly at her childhood playing along the shore, Baulch also recalls the invasion of quagga mussels during her teenage years and watching the lake change as a result.

Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger: Boost your Turbidity Monitoring
The Seametrics Turbo Turbidity Logger is a self-cleaning turbidity sensor capable of internally logging over 260,000 data records. The sensor enables researchers, compliance officers, and contractors to monitor turbidity in various applications, from construction and dredging sites to wastewater effluent. Due to its narrow width, this device can be deployed in a range of areas, from small well spaces to rivers and streams. The stainless steel housing and built-in wiper allow the sensor to withstand long-term deployments and reduce the need for maintenance trips. The logger accurately records temperature and turbidity up to a depth of 50 meters.

Collecting Data at the Top of the World: How Scientists Retrieve Glacial Ice Cores
A helicopter touches down in the small town of Sicuani, Peru, at an elevation of 11,644 feet. Earlier that day, a boxcar brought fuel, drills, food, and other equipment for a glacial expedition. The year is 1979, and glaciologist Lonnie Thompson is preparing to lead a team to the Quelccaya ice cap in hopes of becoming the first scientists to drill an ice core sample from this glacier. The only problem? The glacier is located at 19,000 feet in one of the most remote areas of the world. The helicopter takes off from the town, but the thin atmosphere at that elevation does not allow it to safely touch down on the ice– due to the aircraft’s weight, and it becomes unstable when the air is less dense.
