Overview
The YSI 6-series vented field cables are used to connect the 6-series sondes to the 650 display units. For sondes with level sensors, vented field cables are used to eliminate errors due to changes in barometric pressure.
Connection
For connecting the field cable to the sonde, the sonde connector has a built-in "key" to ensure proper pin alignment. Additionally, an integrated strain relief connector attaches to the sonde bail for added support during sampling and deployments. The other end of the field cable is a military-style 8-pin connector (MS-8). This MS-8 connector plugs directly into the 650 MDS display/logger. The 650 contains a microcomputer that allows it to be used in a similar manner to that of a terminal interface to a PC. Through the use of a YSI 6095B (MS-8 to DB-9) adapter, the sonde may be connected to a computer for setup, calibration, real-time measurement, and uploading files.

Monitoring OAE Efforts in Halifax: Fighting Climate Change with Emerging mCDR Strategies
Marine carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) removal (mCDR) is an emerging strategy that aims to fight climate change by taking advantage of the carbon capture potential of our oceans. There are multiple types of mCDR approaches being evaluated globally, one of which is ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). According to NOAA , OAE aims to increase the pH of water by either adding alkaline material to ocean surface waters or by removing acid from seawater. Due to the change in acidity, the chemistry of seawater changes, making it capable of absorbing greater volumes of CO 2 .

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. [caption id="attachment_38996" align="alignnone" width="940"] HRWC volunteers measure stream velocity across a subsection of Woods Creek, a tributary of the Huron River near Belleville, Michigan. Stream velocity measurements can be combined with water level measurements to calculate stream flow and chemical parameter loads.

Monitoring Lake Erie’s Eastern Basin: Building Long-Term Data and Real-Time Public Solutions
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. [caption id="attachment_38976" align="aligncenter" width="940"] The Dunkirk Buoy viewed from the research vessel after being deployed in early spring.
