Thermal stratification and seasonal mixing are part of a lake’s turnover. This event can be monitored using data buoys and temperature strings for a quick look at how a lake changes seasonally and to be on the look out for changes.
Water sensor strings help lake managers who need a real-time temperature profiling system to make smart decisions, and to respond to signs of trouble in enough time to stop problems.
The NexSens TS210 Temperature String provides high precision measurements for profiling in lakes, streams, and coastal waters.
The USACE’s Walla Walla district oversees the Columbia, Snake and North Fork Clearwater Rivers and monitors impacts the dams have on aquatic life.
