Questions & Answers
How does a Polarographic DO sensor work?
In a polarographic sensor, the cathode is gold and the anode is silver. The system is completed by a circuit in the instrument that applies a constant voltage of 0.8 volts to the probe, which polarizes the two electrodes. The sensor operates by detecting a change in this current caused by the variable pressure of oxygen while the potential is held constant at 0.8 V. The more oxygen passing through the membrane and being reduced at the cathode, the greater the signal increases.
Why is the Polarographic sensor warranted for 1 year while the Galvanic is only warranted to 6 months.
Galvanic sensors continually consume the anode, even when the instrument is off. The consumption of the polarographic sensor stops when the instrument is turned off, giving it a longer sensor life.
Is this sensor approved by the EPA?
Yes, the proven technology of the steady-state sensor is approved by the US EPA for compliance monitoring and reporting.
How often should the dissolved oxygen sensor be calibrated?
The DO readings should be verified before each use, and a YSI recommends performing a 1-point calibration before each use to maintain accurate readings. You can follow the instructions in the calibration guide for dissolved oxygen sensors. 
What is the main difference between the yellow vs blue caps for the YSI 2003 polarographic sensor?
The YSI 2003 polarographic DO sensor can accomodate either a blue or yellow cap. The yellow, 1.25 mil PE cap has an 8 second response time and requires a flow rate of 6 inches/second over the sensor membrane. The blue 2.0 mil PE cap has a 17 second response time and requires a flow rate of 3 inches/second. 
How often should the membrane cap be replaced on electrochemical dissolved oxygen sensors?
YSI recommends replacing the membrane cap every 2-8 weeks.

Mississippi Gulf Coast fish kill expected to continue

Officials at the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources say that a recent fish kill along the state’s Gulf coast is the largest they’ve seen, according to KVUE. The fish kill has brought dead crabs, eels and stingrays ashore. Beachgoers were disturbed by the large-scale kill, but experts explained that conditions this year were to blame. With higher temperatures and low dissolved oxygen near the sea floor, creatures that live there were more likely to be affected. The fish kill, beginning July 1, was the first of 2013 for the area. It was expected to last several more days, but lessen over that period.

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.
