EES 183. Environmental Instruments and Data (4), Fall Semester

Obtaining quality data from sensors and instruments requires an understanding of their properties including inherent limitations, sensitivity, and calibration. Large data sets generated by electronic instruments require careful management to retain full information content. Activities include sensor and instrument use, team projects, multimedia presentations, and extensive use of relational databases. 3 lecture/demonstration periods per week and one laboratory period. A weekend trip to calibrate research instruments and deploy team projects. Prerequisites: EES 21, EES 31, or consent of instructor. Bruce Hargreaves (NS)
