After a significant rainfall event in early 2022, it was found that groundwater levels at a landfill site in southeast Queensland, Australia had risen several metres above any previously recorded levels. As such, the operators of the landfill contracted Anderson Consulting to assist with site planning and works. This included a review of the existing… Continue Reading »
Accuracy, resolution, and precision are often interchanged when discussing the specifications of a pressure sensor. Here, we will differentiate between the three in relation to Solinst Levelogger, LevelVent, and AquaVent datalogger pressure sensors. Continue Reading »
Barometric Compensation Leveloggers measure total pressure (water column equivalent + barometric pressure). In order to accurately determine the true changes in water level only, barometric pressure fluctuations must be removed from the data. The simplest method to accomplish this is by the use of a Barologger suspended above high water level in… Continue Reading »
In a previous blog post, we discussed the need for, and importance of, barometrically compensating your Levelogger data. Now we will discuss how to actually go about doing a barometric compensation. Here we will focus on our recommended method, which is by using a Barologger and the Levelogger Software Data Wizard. Continue Reading »
Solinst dataloggers are recording water levels in your monitoring well network, and it’s time to go out and collect your quarterly data – what options do you have for doing this? Solinst offers four standard ways to retrieve Levelogger®, LevelVent and AquaVent data in the field, without removing them from their monitoring location. Let’s discuss… Continue Reading »
As you know, Leveloggers measure total or absolute pressure. When submerged, they record a combination of atmospheric pressure and water pressure above their sensor. Because the intent of using Leveloggers is to obtain fluctuations in water pressure only, their data must be compensated for atmospheric effects. In order to achieve this, atmospheric… Continue Reading »
Because the goal of Leveloggers is to provide fluctuations in water pressure only, their data must be compensated for barometric effects. In order to achieve this, barometric pressure must be subtracted from the Levelogger readings to give actual water level data. Continue Reading »
Have you noticed a difference in raw water level (pressure) readings when comparing data recorded by the latest Levelogger Edge line versus previous models? Find out why. Continue Reading »
Automatic Barometric Compensation Submersed Leveloggers measure total or absolute pressure (water column equivalent + barometric pressure). In order to accurately determine the true changes in water level only, barometric pressure fluctuations must be taken into account. The simplest method to accomplish this is by the use of a Barologger suspended above high water level in one well… Continue Reading »
The Solinst Levelogger Gold PC Software is intuitive and user-friendly. The simple Windows® based software allows you to easily customize and manage data to meet your own requirements. A key feature of the Levelogger Gold Software is the ‘Data Compensation Wizard’. Most users are familiar with Barometric Compensation and Density Adjustment, but may overlook how useful the Manual Data… Continue Reading »
