Microloggers

These marine environmental data loggers are designed to monitor the suspended sediment climate for long durations. It uses high sampling frequency with long sample bursts.

Complimentary pressure (tides and waves), temperature and conductivity sensors enable a full interpretation of the suspended sediment time series. Other auxiliary sensors, for example oxygen or a fluorometer, can be added.
