Overview
The RM Young 41382 probe combines a high accuracy, capacitance-type humidity sensor and precision platinum RTD temperature sensor in one probe. The sensor is mounted in a weatherproof junction box for convenient wiring. Output options are available for 0-1 VDC, and 4-20mA.
Deployment
For accurate measurements, the RM Young 41382 relative humidity and temperature probe should be installed in a protective radiation shield. Use of the probe without a radiation shield may result in large errors due to solar heating. The probe installs easily in the Model 41003P naturally ventilated or Model 43502 aspirated shield.
Design
The relative humidity and temperature probe is designed to offer years of service with minimal maintenance. As with most humidity sensors, humidity calibration may drift slightly with time. Recalibration will restore the probe to acceptable limits.

UNC's industry-standard water quality profiling platforms get upgrade
The University of North Carolina Institute Of Marine Sciences has a history with profiling platforms. UNC engineers and scientists have been building the research floaters for 10 years in a lab run by in Rick Luettich, director of the institute. UNC scientists and engineers developed their own autonomous vertical profilers to take water quality readings throughout the water column. They have three profilers placed in the New and Neuse rivers. The profilers are designed to drop a payload of sensors to an allotted depth at set time intervals. Instruments attached take readings continuously on the way down and up. Data collected by the profilers has been used to study water related issues such as infectious disease and sediment suspension.
USGS weather station network monitors Arctic Alaska's climate
When the U.S. Geological Survey began building their climate and permafrost monitoring network in Arctic Alaska in 1998, there wasn't much precedent for how to build the infrastructure for the instruments in the region's unforgiving environment. That meant the scientists had to learn the particulars on the fly. For example: On the great expanse of flat, barren tundra, a weather station sticks out like a sore thumb to a curious grizzly bear. "The initial stations were pretty fragile," said Frank Urban, a geologist with the USGS Geosciences and Environmental Change Science Center. "So the bear and those stations--the bear won every single time without any problem.
Testing CO2 Removal Strategies in the Pacific Northwest
The ocean plays a key role in carbon dioxide (CO2) removal and storage, also known as carbon sequestration. However, with increasing emissions, a large amount of CO2 escapes into the atmosphere, worsening climate change and leading to increases in surface temperatures. In order to mitigate some of these impacts, researchers like Ally Savoie at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working hard to identify ways to safely improve the CO2 removal and storage capabilities in the ocean. Savoie started her career at Wright State University , where she worked in Silvia Newell’s lab examining biogeochemical cycling of nutrients in a river system. From there, she decided to pursue a master’s in marine science at the University of Southern Mississippi with Dr.
Smart Buoys Advance Climate Monitoring in Swiss Lakes
Lakes are sentinels of climate change . Globally, they are warming at an unprecedented but uneven rate, and in many places they also face direct human pressure, including from agriculture and recreation. In the Alps, scientists generally agree that climate change is of particular threat to remote lakes , where more pronounced warming threatens fragile ecosystems. Alpine Lakes in a Changing Climate Matteo Tonellotto is part of the team at the Environmental Observatory of the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (OASI)–a multidisciplinary team of scientists, IT specialists, and chemical laboratory technicians committed to collecting, managing, and integrating high-quality environmental data.
