The HOBOnet water level sensor interface features a pre-configured, easily deployed wireless sensor that communicates accurate, reliable water level data directly to a HOBO RX3000 or HOBO MicroRX station, the core component of the HOBOnet remote monitoring system.
HOBOnet is a cost-effective, scalable, user-friendly wireless sensor network that lets you streamline data retrieval by effortlessly monitoring multiple wells with a single cellular device. Data is accessed from anywhere, at any time, through the customizable dashboard in HOBOlink, Onset's innovative cloud software platform – eliminating the need for frequent site visits that are both time-consuming and costly. HOBOlink also sends automatic, real-time text/email notifications to alert you of any sensor or system alarms, providing the insights you need to make informed decisions, react quickly to stay ahead of issues, and ensure compliance.
A complete system requires at least one HOBOnet Water Level Sensor, a direct read cable, and a HOBO RX3000 Remote Monitoring Station and HOBOnet Wireless Manager (or a HOBO MicroRX Station with an integrated HOBOnet Wireless Manager). HOBOnet Wireless Repeaters can be added to extend the range.

Sargassum Surge: How Seaweed is Transforming our Oceans and Coastal Ecosystems
Until recently, Sargassum –a free-floating seaweed–was distributed throughout the Sargasso Sea , the north Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico. But in the space of a decade, this seaweed has, as one scientist remarks , “Gone from a nonfactor to the source of a terrible crisis.” Driven by climate change, anomalous North Atlantic Oscillation in 2009-2010 and a glut of anthropogenic pollutants, sargassum has proliferated. Seasonally recurrent mats as deep as 7m now bloom in the “Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt” (GASB), which covers areas of the Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Every year, millions of tons wash up along the shores of more than 30 countries . Dr.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ), the Great Lakes have more miles of coastline than the contiguous Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined and contain 20 percent of the world's freshwater, making it a critical region to protect and conserve. Continuous monitoring and data-informed resource management are key components of managing waters in the region. Hayden Henderson, a research engineer with the Great Lakes Research Center (GLRC), designs and deploys monitoring platforms throughout the Great Lakes. With a background in environmental engineering, Henderson enjoyed the challenge of creating systems and making them work to obtain difficult, remote measurements.

Meadowbrook Creek in Syracuse, New York, has been monitored by Syracuse University (SU) faculty and students for over a decade. Originally established by Dr. Laura Lautz in 2012, the early years of the program focused on collecting grab water samples for laboratory analysis and evaluating the impact of urban land use, human activities, and natural processes on water resources. Tao Wen , an Assistant Professor in SU’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, took over the program in 2020 and upgraded the existing systems to include 4G modems that allowed for real-time data viewing.
