Overview
The Extech Metal Vane Thermo-Anemometer Datalogger data/time stamps and stores readings on an SD card in Excel format for easy transfer to a PC. The manual functions stores 99 readings. The metal vane withstands temperatures to 158°F (70°C) and air velocity to 6900ft/min.
Mechanics
The adjustable sampling rate is from 1 to 3600 seconds. The type K/J thermocouple input performs high-temperature measurements. The large LCD displays air velocity and temperature simultaneously, and the bearing vane wheel on 39" cable has a 2% velocity accuracy. The built-in PC interface allows for connectivity to further analyze data points. Additional meter functions include data hold, automatic power off, disable, and record/recall max/min readings.

Monitoring OAE Efforts in Halifax: Fighting Climate Change with Emerging mCDR Strategies
Marine carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal (mCDR) is an emerging strategy that aims to fight climate change by taking advantage of the carbon capture potential of our oceans. There are multiple types of mCDR approaches being evaluated globally, one of which is ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). 
 
 According to NOAA , OAE aims to increase the pH of water by either adding alkaline material to ocean surface waters or by removing acid from seawater. Due to the change in acidity, the chemistry of seawater changes, making it capable of absorbing greater volumes of CO 2 .

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.
