Description
With Barologger 5 you get accurate barometric compensation
Leveloggers measure absolute pressure (water pressure + atmospheric pressure) and displayed in either feet, meters, centimeters, psi, kPa or bar. The most accurate method of obtaining changes in water level is to compensate for atmospheric pressure fluctuations using a Barologger 5 from Solinst, avoiding time lag in the compensation.
The Barologger 5 must be placed above high tide elevation in one location. One logger can be used to compensate all Leveloggers within a 30 km radius and/or with every 300 m change in elevation. The Levelogger Software Data Compensation Wizard automatically produces compensated data files using the synchronized data files from it and the Leveloggers on site.
Barologger 5 uses pressure algorithms based on air instead of water pressure, providing the greatest accuracy.
The recorded barometric information can also be very useful in helping to determine the barometric lag and/or barometric efficiency of the monitored aquifer. The Barologger 5 records atmospheric pressure in psi, kPa, or mbar. When compensating submerged Levelogger 5, Edge, Gold, or Junior data, the Levelogger software can recognize the type of Levellogger and compensate using the same units found in the submerged logger’s data file (e.g. feet or meters). This makes the Barlogger 5 backward compatible.
