Description

As the agency reported it.

The APP records location, time, temperature, PH and meta-data. In phase i, we redesigned the instrument using an 'internet of things' development platform, modified the APP to operate on both android and IOS phones, and showed, through a network of partners, that IT is an excellent tool for coastal PH measurements, education, and citizen science. With this technology, we have the basis to develop inexpensive instrumentation for citizen scientists and students to measure other important water quality parameters, such as total alkalinity (TA), fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fdom), the partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2), and the differential pressure of CO2 in air/water (DCO2). With phase II funding we will develop inexpensive TA, fdom, PCO2, and DCO2 measurement systems, and a 'phyterpro' (higher accuracy phyter), while working closely with educators
