A Seabird water quality profiling instrument, Lake Powell

Detailed Description

A Seabird water quality profiling instrument, Lake Powell. This instrument is used to collect temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and chlorophyll a data from the reservoir.  Water is pumped across the water quality sensors as the instrument is lowered through the water column on a winch.  The result is binned estimates of different water quality parameters every 0.5 m throughout the entire depth of the reservoir.
