Overview
The Onset HOBO TidbiT v2 Temperature Logger measures temperatures over a wide temperature range in outdoor and underwater environments. The TidbiT v2 provides 12-bit resolution and has ±0.2 °C accuracy. It is designed for outdoor and underwater environments and is waterproof to 300m (1000 ft). An optical USB interface allows users to offload data in seconds.
*Please note: A solar radiation shield is required to obtain accurate air temperature measurements in sunlight (RS1 Solar Radiation Shield, assembly required; or M-RSA pre-assembled Solar Radiation Shield).
Temperature Sensor
Operation range:* -20° to 70°C (-4° to 158°F) in air; maximum sustained temperature of 30°C (86°F) in water*
Accuracy: ±0.21°C from 0° to 50°C (±0.38°F from 32° to 122°F)
Resolution: 0.02°C at 25°C (0.04°F at 77°F)
Response time: 5 minutes in water; 12 minutes in air moving 2 m/sec; 20 minutes in air moving 1 m/sec (typical to 90%)
Stability (drift): 0.1°C (0.18°F) per year
Logger
Real-time clock: ± 1 minute per month 0° to 50°C (32° to 122°F)
Battery: 3 Volt lithium, non-replaceable
Battery life (typical use): 5 years with 1 minute or greater logging interval
Memory (non-volatile): 64K bytes memory (approx. 42,000 12-bit temperature measurements)
Weight: 19.6 g (0.69 oz)
Dimensions: 3.0 × 4.1 × 1.7 cm (1.2 × 1.6 × 0.68 in.); mounting bail 4.6 mm (3/16 in.) diameter hole
Wetted materials: Epoxy case
Waterproof: To 305 m (1000 ft.)
Logging interval: Fixed-rate or multiple logging intervals, with up to 8 user-defined logging intervals and durations; logging intervals from 1 second to 18 hours. Refer to HOBOware software manual.
Launch modes: Immediate start, delayed start
Offload modes: Offload while logging; stop and offload
Battery indication: Battery level can be viewed in status screen and optionally logged in datafile. Low battery indication in datafile.
Environmental Rating: IP68
NIST certificate: Available for additional charge
* To guarantee accuracy, the TidbiT v2 Temp must not be used in condensing environments and water temperatures higher than 30C (86F) for more than eight cumulative weeks over the life of the logger. Frequent or prolonged exposure will lead to measurement drift and eventual failure.

Climate Change and Microplastics: Monitoring Lake Champlain
Most people go to Lake Champlain for its exceptional views and thrilling boating, but it’s also home to a wide variety of interesting aquatic research projects. From studying microplastics to thermal dynamics of the lake, Timothy Mihuc, director of the Lake Champlain Research Institute (LCRI) at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh), has spent his career studying aquatic ecosystems. As an aquatic biologist, he’s the main investigator on Lake Champlain’s research studies while also managing their grants, employees, and their hands-on buoy work. Over the years, LCRI has received a number of environmental grants that aid in its monitoring research.

Current Monitoring after the Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
On March 26th, according to The Baltimore Sun , a 984-foot, 112,000-ton Dali lost propulsion and collided with a support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the structure. Soon after the event, search and rescue, salvage crews, and other emergency responders were mobilized after the collision. As salvage efforts progressed in early April, NOAA’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS) responded to a request for real-time tidal currents data and deployed a current monitoring buoy—CURBY (Currents Real-time BuoY)—into the Patapsco River north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Soundscapes of the Solar Eclipse: Citizen Science Supporting National Research
On April 8, 2024, millions of people around the world had their eyes glued to the sky to witness a historic cosmic event. The total solar eclipse captured the headlines and the minds of many who became eager to gaze at the heavens as the sky went dark for a few minutes. However, not everyone used their sense of sight during the eclipse, some were listening to the sounds of the natural world around them as the light faded from above. The Eclipse Soundscape Project is a NASA-funded citizen science project that focuses on studying how the annular solar eclipse on October 14, 2023, and the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse impacted life on Earth. The project revisits an initiative from the 1930s that showed animals and insects are affected by solar eclipses.
