LakeESP Data Logger
 
 


Development of the LakeESP is complete. The data logger, shown above, is able to collect water and meteorological data and then telemeter it via GSM to a direct Internet connection.

PME's fast conductivity sensors are being used in a series of investigations at the Norwegian University of Science & Technology (NTNU) Coriolis rotating basin facility in Trondheim, Norway. The sensors are used in a laboratory to study the behavior of dense (saline) gravity currents in rotating flows, as part of a wider modeling investigation into large-scale dense oceanic outflows from the Northern Seas into the North Atlantic.

Project investigations are carried out by Peter Davies and Alan Cuthbertson with the University of Dundee, UK, Janek Laanearu with Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and Anna Wåhlin with the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.

PME's fast conductivity sensors have been used successfully for over 15 years by Davies's fluid mechanics research group at Dundee to look at a range of buoyancy-driven and stratified flow problems.

A PME T-Chain has been deployed from the side of the floating weather station shown at right. Researchers from CSIRO, University of Southern Queensland, The University of Queensland, and Griffith University are testing different ways to estimate evaporation from water storages in south east Queensland. The long-term goal of this project is to test the effectiveness of evaporation reduction technologies. PME's LakeESP can provide similar measurements.

Evaporation is being estimated using eddy covariance, water balance and scintillometry techniques. Central to estimation techniques is the need to understand the dynamics of energy storage within the water body being studied. A variety of thermistor chains are distributed around the storage. For more information please contact David Mcjannet with CSIRO, Australia.



 

 

We would like to wish you a Happy New Year and hope that your 2010 is filled with joy.

Looking back on 2009, PME developed the LakeESP data logger as well as integrated our T-Chain to a Campbell Scientific logger. We attended the AWRA Summer Specialty Conference, GLEON 9 in Wisconsin, and the NALMS conference in Connecticut. PME is also pursuing business representation in Germany, South Korea, China, India, and Japan.

2010 will be an exciting year for the company and will have many more product developments. Thank you for your support and we hope to work with you in the future.
