Overall
The YSI ODO/T probe assembly pairs with the ProSolo Handheld to form a complete sampling system. Featuring integral, digital sensors, the ODO/T is plug-and-play which minimizes time spent on instrument setup. ProDIGITAL technology allows the handheld to automatically recognize connected sensors, so there is no need to tell the instrument what is connected.
Non-Consumptive Technology
The YSI ODO/T probe's technology is non-consumptive, meaning oxygen is not consumed during the measurement. Flow dependence is non-existent, and no stirring is required. The ODO sensor is not susceptible to interferences from other gases, drifts less and holds calibration longer than membrane-covered sensors. Maintenance is a breeze with a simple, threaded optical cap that is good for at least two years.
ProDIGITAL ODO/T Benefits
- Integral optical dissolved oxygen, and temperature sensors that are auto-recognized by Pro DIGITAL handhelds, reducing instrument set-up time
- Rugged Optical DO sensor cap with a 2-year warranty is pre-installed on new assemblies
- Military Spec (MS) connector and a weighted, stainless steel probe guard
- Fits in a 1-inch well with cable lengths up to 100 meters
- 2-year warranty on cable, sensors, and ODO cap

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.
