LEOW Resources
LEOW 2012 participants
The first Lacawac Ecological Observatory Workshop (LEOW) was held June 2012. LEOW is designed to train students, technicians, and faculty to use advanced aquatic sensors and dataloggers, stream real-time data, manage large datasets, QA/QC, and analyze large datasets.
LEOW brings in experts on these various topics to give presentations and hands-on demos. Our LEOW resources page is a tool for those participating in LEOW and those unable to attend. After each LEOW, we will continually add new presentations and modules.
Presentations / Modules
Sensors and Dataloggers
- Sensor selection. Describes how sensors work, commercially available sensors, important sensor properties, and case studies (LEOW 2012).
- Dataloggers and sensors. Covers dataloggers basics and interfacing loggers and sensors with a focus on Campbell loggers and analog sensors (LEOW 2012).
- NexSens sensors. Covers sensors, dataloggers, and interfacing loggers and sensors with a focus on NexSens Technology (LEOW 2012).
Buoys
- Buoys. Covers various buoy platforms (LEOW 2012).
Data streaming
- DataTurbine. Describes DataTurbine, a real-time data streaming engine, and how to use it for sensor applications (LEOW 2012).
- Open source data streaming and visualization. Describes data streaming and visualization options (LEOW 2012).
Case studies
- Lakes as sentinels. Provides a framework for using lakes as sentinels of climate change including example case studies (LEOW 2012).
Data management and QA/QC
- Using Matlab and physical limnology. Describes physical limnology with high frequency data sets and using Matlab for large datasets including commands (LEOW 2012).
- QA/QC: Overview of QA/QC and link to B3 software guide (LEOW 2012).
Data analysis
- R and Data analysis. Introduction to R, using linear regression models in R, and Bayesian statistics in R and BUGS using a pretend dataset (LEOW 2012).
