YSI Integrated Systems & Services offers the ability to integrate a YSI field cable into a manual, hand crank cable reel assembly. This cable reel gives a customer the ability to conduct a manual profile of a water column using a YSI EXO sonde and a YSI handheld device. The cable reel consists of a slip ring containing 6 conductors specifically designed for the YSI EXO sonde. It’s designed to fit up to 500 feet (152 meters) in cable length.
A standard YSI field cable for the EXO sonde can be purchased at the same time as the cable reel. If the customer already has a YSI field cable that they would like to add onto a cable reel, they can send it in at the time of purchasing the reel and it can be installed.
The standard procedure is that a 10 foot section of cable will be cut on the handheld end of the field cable to be integrated into the slip ring on the reel. The customer may specify a different length that they would like cut at the time of purchase. The remaining length of cable will be installed onto the cable reel drum and integrated into the opposite side of the slip ring so that it becomes mated with the remaining cable to allow communication between the handheld unit and the sonde.

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.

SonTek CastAway-CTD Meter Review
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.
