This 11-in-1 professional measuring instrument provides multiple functions to measure environmental parameters in indoor and outdoor settings. Measurement capabilities include air velocity, air flow, wind chill, humidity, dew point, wet bulb, heat index, light, temperature, barometric pressure, and altitude. The anemometer uses a low-friction ball bearing mounted wheel designed for high accuracy. A built-in microprocessor circuit assures excellent performance. The humidity meter uses a high precision humidity sensor for a fast response time.
Concise and compact button arrangement simplifies operation, where five air velocity measurement units can be selected by a front panel button. The backlit LCD dual display simultaneously shows relative humidity and temperature or air velocity and temperature measurements. The field replaceable low friction vane wheel improves air velocity accuracy.

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.
