Overview
The Stainless Steel Mini-Monsoon XL pump is capable of pumping up to 80 feet from ground level by simply connecting it to a 12-volt battery.
Maintenance
The main wear-out parts, the motor and seal, have been incorporated in a single replaceable motor module. Should the existing replaceable motor module fail in the field, a new replaceable motor module can be installed within 60 seconds by a simple quarter-turn twist. Once installed, the pump is essentially new and will have a life span identical to that of a new pump.

- Maximum Amp Output: 16 Amps
- Measurements: 7.5" length x 1.82" diameter
- Construction: High polish stainless steel
- Required Tubing: 3/8" ID tubing
- (1) 12V Stainless Steel Mini-Monsoon XL pump

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.
