Overview
The PME miniWIPER is a self-contained, completely submersible wiping device that can be used with a variety of sensors including the miniDOT Logger. It can be programmed to wipe at various intervals, and is powered from two AA Lithium batteries.

Mechanics
A small brush rotates over the sensor in order to perform a complete wipe of the sensor surface, and then rests away from the sensor to allow for accurate and continuous monitoring. The wiper is used as an anti-fouling device and prevents various organisms from growing on the sensor and interfering with data.

Questions & Answers
What are the total dimensions of the miniWIPER and miniDOT logger once the wiper has been installed?
The specifications as well as a support drawing for the miniDOT with the miniWIPER installed can be found on the specification document. 
How much power does the miniWIPER draw from the miniDOT when deployed and will it reduce the number of samples recorded on the miniDOT logger?
The miniWIPER is powered by internal batteries, so there will not be any effect on the logger which has its own batteries. More information on the number of samples that can be obtained under varying conditions such as high or low water temperatures and wiping frequency, can be found on page 10 of the manual.
What is the expected battery life of the miniDOT wiper running at 6-hour intervals?
Page 10 of the manual states that the wiper battery would technically last 16 months, when wiped every 6-hours. However, it is recommended to wipe slightly more often than you think you may need, since biofouling can happen pretty quickly, given the right conditions. https://www.fondriest.com/pdf/pme_miniwiper_manual.pdf
Is the meter rated to a specific max NTU?
While high turbidity may affect fluorescence and DO levels, there is no specific concentration limit or interference level disclosed in the product specifications.

PME miniDOT Logger: Plunge into Data

The PME miniDOT Logger is a compact data logger that measures dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature down to 100 meters in depth. The unit can also endure low water temperatures and is durable underneath an ice layer, which is excellent for gathering essential winter water quality data that is lacking from using less robust equipment. The high depth rating and ability to withstand frigid temperatures make the PME a reliable device that is deployable in dramatically different environments, such as a monitoring well, an inland lake or an underwater cave. The logger itself features an optical DO sensor, temperature sensor, two AA lithium batteries and a micro SD memory card.

Angler-Driven Citizen Science: Monitoring Black Bass Populations in Arkansas

In Arkansas, the rugged terrain of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains dominates the north and west, eventually yielding to the vast, fertile flatlands of the Mississippi River Delta to the east. Hundreds of reservoirs and lakes punctuate the landscape, while swift streams snake through the valleys and hills, eventually giving way to the slow-moving rivers and bayous in the south. The waterways of the state are teeming with life. Black bass dominate most of these ecosystems and have drawn anglers for centuries. The most sought-after fish in one of the country's most prominent fishing states, Arkansas treasures its black bass populations.

New Buoy Boosts White Lake’s Water Quality Monitoring and Conservation

White Lake in Western Michigan is a vestige of North America’s glacial past, and gets its name from an interpretation of the Indian, “Wabish-Sippe,” meaning the river with white clay. The twin towns of Whitehall and Montague, which nestle on White Lake’s shore, have shared a close connection with the lake since their foundation–from the growth of the lumbering industry, to industrializsation, the expansion of tourism, and most recently, environmental protection. The White Lake Association (WLA) was founded in 1988 by residents concerned about proposed development at the lake’s northern end.
