Overview
The Extech 1000A Clamp Meter with IR Thermometer features a non-contact IR thermometer with laser pointer. Multimeter functions include AC/DC voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, type K temperature, diode, and continuity. The 1.7" jaw opening fits conductors up to 750MCM or two 500MCM. Instrument functions include peak hold, data hold, max/min, and auto-ranging with a manual range button.
Mechanics
Additionally, Model EX810 measures AC current, and Model EX820 measures AC current, using a type K thermometer and true RMS for accurate results. Model EX830 measures DC/AC current and DC zero and uses a type K thermometer and true RMS for accurate measurements. The true RMS gives users accurate readings of non-sinusoidal waveforms.

Lake Erie Volunteer Science Network: Building Trust in Citizen Science Programs
Citizen science programs have popped up across the United States, focusing on connecting local communities with nearby water resources and building a trustworthy data pool over the sampling period. While commonly utilized as a means of ensuring that large watersheds or lake regions are adequately sampled, the credibility and success of such programs have been called into question. 
 
[caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

In the eastern basin of Lake Erie, off the coast of Dunkirk, New York, a data buoy collects valuable water quality, weather, and wave data that inform residents and regulatory groups of conditions on the water. 
 
Since 2011, Buffalo State University’s Great Lakes Center has maintained and operated the Dunkirk buoy with funding from the Great Lakes Observing System (GLOS) and field support from the NYSDEC Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit.

Lightweight and easy to use, the SonTek CastAway offers a convenient 3-in-1 solution for measuring conductivity, temperature, and depth profiles. At a 5 Hz sampling rate, the CastAway is designed for up to 1 m/s free-fall through the water column. 
 
 With fast response and accurate conductivity, temperature, and depth measurements, the CastAway is ideal for thermocline and halocline profiling. The unit also reports salinity and speed of sound.
