INSTRUMENTATION - Q.W. - A YSI EXO2 Sonde multi-parameter monitor measuring Water Temperature, Specific Conductance, Dissolved Oxygen pH and Turbidity.  The Sonde readings are checked against a calibrated field Sonde and compared to stream cross-section values at each site visit. After readings are compared, the monitoring sonde is either cleaned, calibrated, and replaced in the stream, or swapped with a newly calibrated Sonde.
