Overview
Built to withstand extended periods of immersion, the compact HOBO Water Temp Pro v2 Logger provides reliable, accurate underwater temperature measurements. The small size of the logger allows it to be easily mounted and/or hidden in the field.
Durable
The HOBO Water Temp Pro v2 logger is waterproof up to 120 m (400 feet) and rugged enough to withstand years of use, even in stream conditions. It has enough memory to record over 42,000 12-bit temperature measurements.
Mechanics
The Water Temp Pro v2 Logger requires an infrared base station (90706) or shuttle (90707) and HOBOware, available as a free download, or HOBOware Pro software (sold separately) for system launch and data retrieval. The associated couplers are included with both the base station and shuttle. In addition, the shuttle can operate as a base station for added flexibility in the field.
Data Storage
The high-speed infrared communications offloads data in less than 30 seconds (requires USB port), and the infrared communications port is located opposite the bail end for convenient access while tethered. Offload data or check the logger and battery status, even while logging. A blinking LED indicates that the logger is recording data. To reduce visibility in the field, this feature can be turned off. Non-volatile EEPROM memory retains measurements in the event of battery failure.

Three Decades of Research at Acton Lake
A multi-disciplinary team at Miami University, Ohio, has been studying the environmental change at Acton Lake for over three decades. Using three different NexSens buoys over this time, the team has an incredible archive of data that is helping build a picture of Acton’s past, present, and future. 
 
Until recently, a NexSens CB-50 buoy was used alongside other environmental monitoring at Acton Lake. In May 2025, the Miami team deployed a new XB-200 buoy , future-proofing their ongoing monitoring using real-time buoy systems. 
 
Acton Lake, a small hypereutrophic reservoir in southwest Ohio, covers 2.4km² and has a maximum depth of about 8m. The dam was built in 1956, and the lake has a large agricultural watershed.

Thousands of US cities pull their drinking water from natural source waters like reservoirs, rivers, and streams, making overall watershed health a key consideration for water providers. In Albany, New York, the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply delivers drinking water to over 100,000 residents as well as monitors and manages the larger drinking water supply watershed. 
 
Hannah Doherty, Environmental Specialist at the Albany Department of Water and Water Supply , spends her days working with a small team to monitor the drinking supply and the connected water bodies. 
 
Doherty explains, “We’re the first to encounter the water that ends up being the drinking water.

Though recent wildfires have sparked new conversations about wildfire management and response, groups like the Yuba Watershed Institute have been monitoring the forests and water resources of the Sierra Nevada region for decades, managing approximately 5,000 acres of land with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and about 7,000 acres in private land partnerships. 
 
The goal of the Institute is to work with local communities and land agencies to improve watershed and forestry management through informed practices and public outreach. The goals of the Yuba Watershed Institute are three-fold: 
 
 	 Improve the ability of fire suppression agencies like the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection ( CAL FIRE ) and the US Forest Service.
