Overview
The Seametrics BaroSCOUT 2X Smart Sensor is designed to measure barometric pressure, along with temperature. It is an ideal companion to the LevelSCOUT 2X absolute pressure/level sensors and can be used to adjust their readings for atmospheric pressure.
Design
This industry-standard digital RS485 interface device records up to 100,000 records of pressure, temperature, and time data and operates with low power. The Seametrics BaroSCOUT 2X Smart Sensor and features easy-to-use Aqua4Plus 2.0 software with powerful features. Constructed with 316 stainless steel, acetal, and Viton, this sensor provides high-accuracy readings in rugged and corrosive field conditions.
The BaroSCOUT 2X utilizes an extremely rugged and stable piezo-electric media-isolated pressure element combined with a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter. This provides extremely accurate and stable pressure input into the microprocessor on the circuit board that measures the pressure and stores the data in non-volatile memory.
Power
A replaceable 2/3 AA 3.6v lithium battery powers the BaroSCOUT 2X. The unit is programmed using our easy-to-use control software. Once programmed the unit will measure and collect data at the time interval programmed.
*Note: The BaroSCOUT 2X is intended for use in the atmosphere—not to be submerged.

Water Conservation and Smart Growth in Texas
As states face annual droughts and water use continues to grow in order to meet population and production demands, water conservation is essential to protecting natural resources and long-term reliance. 
 
Over the years, conserving water has become more necessary as the world’s natural resources continue to be strained in order to meet needs. As a result, water conservation consultants have filled an essential niche in resource management. 
 
Eddie Wilcut, the Water &; Energy Efficiency Practice Leader at Plummer , started his career in the Air Force, where he took some classes focusing on water resources. In those classes, Wilcut read Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac,” and a specific line has stuck with him for the past 26 years.

As scientists seek to better understand aquatic ecosystems, utilizing small data buoys to monitor offshore and cover more water is becoming commonplace. The new NexSens Technology XB-200 data buoy was designed for inland and coastal monitoring applications. 
 
Although compact, the platform is designed with adequate space for multiple sensors and measurement electronics. When configured with the NexSens X3 data logger with IoT connectivity, internal batteries, solar panels, select sensors, and other accessories, the new buoy provides an off-the-shelf solution for any monitoring project. 
 
The new buoy concept was developed by the NexSens product development team with significant user input.

Ice cover on the Great Lakes provides numerous recreational and economic opportunities, including ice fishing, snowmobile charters, and ice caves on the lakes. Unfortunately, declining ice cover and increasing related weather events due to climate change, as well as other environmental stressors, have put such opportunities at risk. 
 
 Historically, understanding winter weather has been difficult largely due to a lack of observations and, as a result, communities surrounding the Great Lakes have been left underprepared for extreme events.
