3.7+Equipment+and+Supply

//This page contains the specifications/description of equipment and supplies used during the project. Equipment are separated into four major categories: (1) Water Quality Sampling and Characterization Equipment for Grab Sampling Activities, (2) Software, (3) Steam Gauging Equipment, and (4) Jagski Equipment. This page will continue to be developed by Students during the Semester.//

2.0 Software
You will be provided access to download most necessary software packages that would be required for viewing and/or altering data collected as part of this course, especially for instrumentation used on the Jag Ski. It may be necessary for you to use Matlab during this course. While we cannot provide each of you with your own copy of a standalone Matlab license, we do have a site license here on campus and the software is found on computers in the EGLB CAD Lab.

We will be collecting a large amount of spatial data as part of this course. Perhaps the best way of cataloging, viewing, and manipulating spatial data is using some sort of GIS framework. The CE department computer lab has a couple of computers with the ESRI ArcGIS software installed. As with Matlab, we cannot provide a copy of this software for you. However, there is a freely available GIS software for PC-based computers called MapWindow. I would encourage you to install this open source GIS software on your own personal computer and become familiar with its use. Some demonstration of MapWindow will be provided in subsequent lectures. The MapWindow software page can be found at the link below. I encourage you to download/install the current, supported 4.x version.

MapWindow: @http://www.mapwindow.org/

Here is a link to a PDF produced using MapWindow that demonstrates the variability of near-surface temperature in Big Creek Lake (collected with the YSI Portable SeaKeeper):

3.0 Stream Gaging Equipment
We will be using an OTT Acoustic Digital Current meter for stream gaging at Big Creek lake. Please {click here} for details about the ADC. A user's manual, FAQ, and specifications can be downloaded from this site.

= **4.0 Jag Ski Equipment & Capabilities** =

The Jag Ski is a personal-watercraft-based system for collecting hydrographic data in shallow areas, or those areas where accessibility constraints make launching a normal watercraft impossible. The Jag Ski collects geo-referenced bathymetry (depth measurements), current velocity profiles and discharge, and near-surface water quality indicators, as well as relative measurements of refined fuel and crude oil, by using a number of instruments with integrated Global Positioning System capability. An onboard PC and waterproof LCD touchscreen display offer navigation support and a software interface for the onboard equipment.

Please see and reference Russ et al. (2011) for information about the Jag Ski and YSI Portable SeaKeeper. Link to the PDF is below.
