Overview
The Onset HOBO Pendant Temp/Light data logger is a miniature, waterproof two-channel temperature and relative light level data logger. The logger is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and underwater applications.
Add-Ons
Use a solar radiation shield for accurate temperature measurement in sunlight. See RS1 Solar Radiation Shield (assembly required) and M-RSA (pre-assembled) Solar Radiation Shield. Note that using a solar radiation shield prevents the use of the light sensor.

Regional Lake Monitoring in Maine: Community Funded Research and Protection
Lakes everywhere are threatened by climate change, harmful algal blooms , invasive species, and other environmental stressors. Local, regional, and federal agencies have stepped up in order to defend the environment and water resources. The Lakes Environmental Association (LEA) in Maine is one example of an organization dedicated to protecting local freshwater resources. Dr. Ben Peierls, LEA Research Director, explains the history of the nonprofit, "For more than 50 years, [LEA] has been working locally, statewide, and regionally, helping or interacting with people on lake water quality, watershed protection, conservation, education, invasive species, and other issues.

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.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions
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. [caption id="attachment_38976" align="aligncenter" width="940"] The Dunkirk Buoy viewed from the research vessel after being deployed in early spring.
