EXO Water Quality Field Sensors

چکیده
Introduction The EXO multiparameter water quality sonde product line includes nine sensors that detect a variety of physical, chemical, and biological properties of natural water. The product line is designed to collect highly accurate data under ever-changing environmental conditions and water matrices. The two main sonde applications are; 1) long-term monitoring where maintenance intervals are typically longer than 1 month and biofouling, sensor stability, and system durability are principal concerns and 2) sampling requiring fast response for rapid data collection in often vastly different water qualities. Each EXO sensor employs a distinct sensing technology with specific performance and behavior in natural environments. A basic understanding of the sensing technologies and possible interferences encountered in natural environments will allow the user to improve deployment strategies, interpret data, and improve data quality.
