Overview
The PME miniWIPER is a self-contained, completely submersible wiping device that can be used with a variety of sensors including the miniDOT Logger. It can be programmed to wipe at various intervals, and is powered from two AA Lithium batteries.

Mechanics
A small brush rotates over the sensor in order to perform a complete wipe of the sensor surface, and then rests away from the sensor to allow for accurate and continuous monitoring. The wiper is used as an anti-fouling device and prevents various organisms from growing on the sensor and interfering with data.

Questions & Answers
What are the total dimensions of the miniWIPER and miniDOT logger once the wiper has been installed?
The specifications as well as a support drawing for the miniDOT with the miniWIPER installed can be found on the specification document. 
How much power does the miniWIPER draw from the miniDOT when deployed and will it reduce the number of samples recorded on the miniDOT logger?
The miniWIPER is powered by internal batteries, so there will not be any effect on the logger which has its own batteries. More information on the number of samples that can be obtained under varying conditions such as high or low water temperatures and wiping frequency, can be found on page 10 of the manual.
What is the expected battery life of the miniDOT wiper running at 6-hour intervals?
Page 10 of the manual states that the wiper battery would technically last 16 months, when wiped every 6-hours. However, it is recommended to wipe slightly more often than you think you may need, since biofouling can happen pretty quickly, given the right conditions. https://www.fondriest.com/pdf/pme_miniwiper_manual.pdf
Is the meter rated to a specific max NTU?
While high turbidity may affect fluorescence and DO levels, there is no specific concentration limit or interference level disclosed in the product specifications.

PME miniDOT Logger: Plunge into Data

The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

Wildfire Prevention in the Sierra Nevada Region with the Yuba Watershed Institute

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.

Wave Sensors Integration with NexSens Buoys: A Cutting-Edge Solution for Wave Measurment

Real-time wave data supports accurate weather prediction, safe and efficient maritime operations, and provides valuable safety and operating condition information for recreation and commercial fishing. Understanding wave dynamics also helps with the design of protective coastal structures like seawalls, breakwaters, and jetties. It also supports better prediction of their impact on sediment transport and coastal geomorphology. Wave data is a key factor in qualifying and designing offshore wind farms and harnessing kinetic energy for electrical generation. It helps with the understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions and contributes to studies of sea-level rise and climate change impacts.
