Technical Specifications

Most handhelds have a built-in GPS.  Installed sensors measure:  temperature, conductivity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity.  Smaller and easier to carry than the EXO2 sondes, so better for stream sampling.

Procedures

These have been distributed to individual faculty research labs and they are responsible for determining procedures for usage.
