Description
The most accurate method of obtaining changes in water level is to compensate for atmospheric pressure fluctuations using a Solinst 3001 Barologger 5.
The Solinst 3001 Barologger 5 is set above high-water level in one location on site. One Barologger can be used to compensate all Leveloggers in a 30km radius and/or with every 300m change in elevation.
The Barologger 5 uses pressure algorithms based on air rather than water pressure, giving superior accuracy. The recorded barometric information can also be very useful to help determine barometric lag and/or barometric efficiency of the monitored aquifer.
The Barologger 5 records atmospheric pressure in psi, kPa, or mbar. When compensating submerged Solinst 3001 Levelogger 5, Edge, Gold or Junior data, Levelogger Software can recognize the type of Levelogger and compensate using the same units found in the submerged data file (e.g. feet or meters). This makes the Solinst 3001 Barologger 5 backwards compatible.
