Incorrect transducer depth can lead to significant errors in discharge calculations, especially when flow is extrapolated near the boundaries of the channel. Isaac demonstrates how to avoid this by using two simple approaches:

Method 1: Use a carpenter’s square to measure from the vertical beam to the waterline.
Method 2: Measure the well depth with and without your ADCP, then add the two values together.

These tips apply to instruments like the SonTek-RS5 and M9, and are perfect for field users looking to improve the accuracy of their data collection.

Pro Tip: Always input your correct transducer depth during setup—this ensures you’re getting the most reliable discharge data possible.

What a Glacial River Reveals About the Greenland Ice Sheet

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:02:25 GMT

Five years after a NASA-funded field study returned to to set up camp once again in the melt zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet, a new study adds to the rich findings from this innovative project. We look back on this bold undertaking, which featured helicopters, floating drifters plunging into holes in the ice, and all-night shifts operating a sonic boogie board under endless daylight. Scientist Larry Smith, at the time with UCLA and now with Brown University, takes us back to the challenges on the ice and the important findings made with the hard-won data.

Download the SonTek-M9 case study: https://www.ysi.com/File%20Library/Documents/Case%20Study/streamflow-data-improve-greenland-ice-melt-models.pdf
At the fringes of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where glaciers are constantly melting, water rushes everywhere through an intricate system of lakes and streams that branch out like slip and slide shoots of super chilled, bright turquoise water. Some of that water eventually cascades straight into the surrounding land and ocean through channels and cracks. Some of it thunders off into sinkhole-like structures on the ice called moulins. Rumbling 24 hours a day, these holes swallow water from the surface and funnel it to the bedrock at the base of the ice.

THM 1000 Analyzer | YSI

Mon, 20 May 2024 10:28:17 GMT

When treating drinking water, disinfectants like chlorine are vital in ensuring our tap water remains safe for public use. While critical, these disinfectants can react with naturally occurring organic compounds in the water, forming potential health hazards that cause disinfection byproducts.

To help minimize any health impact of DPPs, most notably trihalomethanes, agencies like the World Health Organization, the EPA, and the DWI have set detection limits for THMs in water.

Traditional analysis for these compounds involves gas chromatography and/or mass spectrometry. Due to the size and complexity of a GC system, analysis is often done at an off-site location. This can cost a significant amount of money and cause delays in reporting, which can affect the treatment processes used to counteract THMs. You told us that you wanted a dedicated THM analyzer to deliver results immediately, and we listened.

We are thrilled to present our groundbreaking solution for analyzing THMs in water, the YSI THM 1000. This innovative system simplifies the process, offering walk-up analysis to give you results when and where you need them. Get feedback in 30 minutes, allowing for on-site analysis and on-site optimization.

How does this all work? The YSI THM 1000 first collects a water sample, which is then introduced into the sparging system. This system passes a carrier gas through the sample water, facilitating the introduction of THMs to the analyzer. The dedicated purge and trap system automatically separates the THM from the water sample. The sparged THMs are concentrated on a sorbent trap. Once the sparging is completed, the THMs are desorbed and sent to the chromatographic column for separation and subsequent detection.

The THM 1000 utilizes a SAW detector, an acronym for surface acoustic wave phenomena, first published in 1885. With over a century of refinement, this particular SAW detector was developed in conjunction with Sandia National Laboratories. It can measure VOC analytes with a sensitivity of one part per billion.

Dedicated to ensuring safe public drinking water, the YSI THM 1000 is designed for simple operation. In conclusion, the YSI THM 1000 simplifies THM analysis, offering rapid and accurate results and eliminating the need for timely and costly analysis.

Flow Probe | Features & Benefits | Global Water

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 09:10:09 GMT

Hello. I'm Insley, a product manager for Xylem Analytics. In this video, I will be reviewing the features of the Global Water Flow Probe. The Flow Probe is a rugged and easy-to-use instrument for measuring the average water velocity in streams, rivers, and open channels. It includes a propeller sensor, an aluminum telescoping handle with a staff gauge, a display unit, and a lithium battery that lasts up to five years. The Flow Probe display unit is self-contained and sealed, designed for use in harsh outdoor environments. It is shock-resistant and will float if dropped during use.

The propeller is protected inside a 2-inch diameter housing. This design keeps debris from clogging the propeller, helping avoid interruptions in your sampling day. If the propeller needs to be cleaned, it can be easily removed, cleaned, and replaced onto the Flow Probe. The Flow Probe's display shows the instantaneous and average velocities detected by the propeller in feet or meters per second. The display can also show the minimum or maximum velocity and a timer indicating how long measurements are taken.

You can store up to 30 sets of data points on the Flow Probe for review later. It is important to remember that stream flow velocity can vary throughout the flow's cross-section because of friction between the water and the substrate, surges in velocity, turbulence, and large obstructions. To account for this, the Flow Probe can be moved slowly and smoothly through the water during average velocity measurements. For larger streams and rivers, the cross-sectional area can be divided into subsections, about 1 to 3 feet wide, and a vertical flow profile can be obtained.

The telescoping handle makes monitoring from a boat, bridge, or deeper water easy. The Flow Probe can be deployed in as shallow as 2 inches of water and has an accuracy of 0.1 feet per second in water with a velocity between 0.3 and 20 feet per second. With a floating, watertight display unit, a simple, rugged design, and ease of use, the Global Water Flow Probe is ideal for water velocity field studies.
