Overview
HOBOware Pro Software facilitates easy launch and readout of HOBO USB data loggers as well as flexible plotting of data. Data can be exported for more in-depth analysis using other programs including spreadsheets. The software allows users to set launch parameters. These settings include:
- Toggling channels to record
- Setting sample intervals and start type (immediate, delayed, interval, or triggered)
- Monitoring battery level
- Synchronizing logger clocks to the computer clock
Graphing Potential
With the graphing capability, users can view multiple parameters from a single logger on one graph, zoom in on data of interest, set axes ranges, display data in different formats, and display recorded events in graphs or file exports. Users can also verify logger operation before launch or during logging, as well as display real-time sensor readings, memory used, and battery voltage.
Data Conversion
One-click conversion allows for easy data upload into Microsoft Excel software or other programs. Windows and Mac versions are included. The Windows version offers enhanced features that allow for the combination of data from multiple loggers or deployments, saving of current data for future use, linear scaling for external inputs, listing of recently accessed files, and automatic internet updates.

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.

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.
Read MoreSoundscapes 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.
