Addressing the need for routine, robust and accurate water quality measurements, particularly in sensitive and diverse ecological areas such as estuaries and inland waters, Satlantic offers a complete, turnkey monitoring system, the LOBO. Developed by Dr. Ken Johnson's team MBARI, the LOBO was designed to create a real time sensor network for aquatic systems. Water properties such as salinity, temperature, and current velocity are combined with nutrient measurements to monitor important processes that affect biogeochemistry. Parameters measured by the LOBO include:

• Physical measurements include temperature, depth, salinity (optional), current profiler (optional) and turbidity.


• Chemical sensors include chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), nitrate, and dissolved oxygen.


• Biological measurements include chlorophyll fluorescence with options for additional ancillary pigments.
