Overview
The Solinst Water Level Temperature Sensor is a compact, all-in-one submersible hydrostatic level transmitter that provides continuous, stable and accurate water level and temperature readings for a wide variety of applications. The water level pressure sensor and temperature sensor are enclosed in a slim, robust 22 mm x 192 mm (7/8" x 7.55") 316L stainless steel housing. Double O-ring seals prevent leaks, and a Faraday cage design protects against power surges and lightning.
Design
Each probe features a removable nose cone for optional use of the 1/4" NPTM threaded connection. The durable water level pressure sensor provides 0.05% FS accuracy with automatic temperature-compensated readings. There are six pressure ranges to choose from (5-200 m), with options for absolute (non-vented) and gauged (vented) pressure sensor setups.
Data Availability
The Water Level Temperature Sensor works with digital and analog protocols – MODBUS, SDI-12, and 4-20mA (add-on Current Loop Adaptor). They are easy to integrate into existing SCADA or PLC systems. Communication cable assemblies are available in lengths up to 300 meters. The cables are easily and securely attached to the sensor using a threaded connection. Simple PC software utilities are used to set up the sensor for the different protocols, perform simple diagnostics, and update sensor firmware if required. A USB-A programming cable is available for connection to the PC.

Solinst Model 301 WLTS: Works Well Under Pressure
From an already successful line of water level and temperature loggers comes the new Water Level Temperature Sensor (WLTS) by Solinst, Inc. Unlike other water level measurement devices offered by Solinst, the WLTS is designed to integrate with 3rd party data loggers in industrial and environmental monitoring systems using digital communication protocols. Sensors that can be easily integrated with external devices allow for the addition of stable and continuous water level and temperature measurements to existing monitoring networks. While some water level sensors use pressure transducers to determine water level, the WLTS utilizes a hydrostatic level transmitter to record water levels and a platinum resistance temperature detector for temperature compensation.

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.

Great Lakes Research Center: Designing Targeted Monitoring Solutions
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.
