Instruments

Water Temperature Sensor

Supplied Name:

Supplied Description:

HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger 64K - UA-002-64 deployed in the intertidal zone. Sampling intervals varied but averaged around 10 min.

The HOBO Pendant Temperature/Light Data Logger is a waterproof, two-channel logger with 10-bit resolution and can record up to approximately 3,500 (8K model) or 28,000 (64K model) combined temperature and light readings or internal logger events. The logger uses a coupler and optical base station with USB interface for launching and data readout by a computer.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Water Temperature Sensor

Acronym: Water Temp Sensor

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/134/

Generic Description:

General term for an instrument that measures the temperature of the water with which it is in contact (thermometer).
