Van Essen CTD-Diver Water Level & Conductivity Loggers

Overview
The Van Essen CTD-Diver works wherever there is a need to monitor groundwater levels and saltwater intrusion, injected wastewater, or contamination from chemical discharges and landfill sites. The CTD-Diver is equipped with a four-electrode conductivity sensor that measures electrical conductivity from 0 to 120 mS/cm. There are two options for measuring conductivity: true or specific conductivity at 25 degrees C. Additionally, pressure and temperature are measured and recorded.

Questions & Answers
What software is needed for the CTD logger?
Diver-Office is a free software that can be downloaded on the Van Essen website. You can use the software to export data reports, visualize data and change logger settings.
How many measurements can the CTD Diver hold?
The memory capacity for the logger is 48,000 measurements.
Does the CTD diver need calibrated prior to use?
The logger is factory calibrated for temperature, pressure and conductivity prior to shipment. To calibrate conductivity in the field, a 2-point calibration (dry air/standard) can be performed to ensure accurate readings and a 4-point calibration will bring the logger up to specifications for the full-measurement range for conductivity.
Can this instrument be deployed as a CTD profiler? Does it provide real time data?
The Van Essen CTD-Divers are intended for monitoring conductivity, temperature and depth over a longer-term deployment. If you are interested in a meter that can measure these parameters in real time, with a topside display, the YSI ProSolo with conductivity/temperature probe and the option to add additional parameters later on. 
Are the DI27x CTD-Divers still available?
The DI271, DI271, DI273, and DI1274 CTD-Divers were discontinued in late 2021 and replaced with the newer DI28x models. Notable improvements include more memory, and a lower price point.

Building Reliable Systems: Hydroelectric Dam Monitoring in Western Pennsylvania

Hydroelectric dams are a source of renewable energy, and many have taken the place of fossil fuel reliance across the United States. While they provide green energy to the grid, they also impact the environment above and below the dam. In order to protect these habitats and mitigate any potential harm, hydroelectric dam operators monitor water quality conditions above and below the dam to ensure conditions meet ecosystem needs. Eagle Creek Renewable Energy has several hydroelectric plants positioned throughout Pennsylvania, and each is managed and monitored by a team of professionals. One of these managers is Craig Goldinger, a regional manager with Eagle Creek Renewable Energy in Western Pennsylvania.

Sustainable Data Collection: Climate Monitoring in the Caribbean

Environmental monitoring in the Caribbean may be essential, but it has also historically been placed on the back burner. Albert Jones, Instrumentation Officer for the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), explains, “Data collection itself is not what is considered one of those sexy activities where you can easily get funding.” Still, monitoring the water surrounding island nations is necessary to protect residents and the environment. The CCCCC works to establish environmental monitoring networks and systems in the Caribbean. One aspect of Jones’ work centers around data buoy instrumentation and deployment,—equipment that will be used to support Ecoforecasts for Coral Health Monitoring and to provide valuable environmental data to the public.

Protecting Chicago's Lakefront: Freshwater Beach Monitoring

Thousands of people flock to the Great Lakes every year to enjoy the freshwater beaches along the coast. As an urban hub with over 2.5 million residents, beachfronts in Chicago have regular visitors as well as tourists that recreate in the bordering Lake Michigan. According to the Chicago Park District, it is estimated that more than 100,000 residents and visitors per day use Chicago’s Lakefront trail during summer weekends. Proximity to the Lake is not only a recreational activity for Chicagoans, but also a part of the city’s history due to its role in domestic and international shipping routes. In addition, the Lake serves as a drinking water source and as an essential climate regulator in the region that acts as a natural air conditioning affect.
