The Extech Vibration Meter/Datalogger tests vibration levels on motors, bearings,fans, pumps, rotating machinary, and more. The meter has a wide frequency range of 10Hz to 1kHz and a basic accuracy of ±(5% + 2 digits). It has an adjustable data sampling rate from 1 to 3600 seconds and RMS, peak value, and maximum hold measurement modes. The datalogger stores up to 99 readings manually and 20M readings via the 2G SD card. A built-in PC interface allows users to transfer data to a PC for further analys. Additional features include record/recall min, max readings, data hold, and automatic power off with disable function.

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.

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.
