#tinytag data logger

You don't have to be a technical expert using Tinytag data loggers.

Tinytag data loggers are designed to be easy for anyone to set up and use.

Rugged, waterproof and dustproof Tinytag data loggers are available for construction, environmental and industrial applications. Probes offer easy access to awkward areas a logger cannot reach such as pipework or can be used for monitoring extremes of temperature in production processes.

ENERGY DATA LOGGER

Do you need a data logger for fishery, river or ocean monitoring? Highly robust and waterproof, the Tinytag Aquatic 2 can be submerged at depths of up to 500 meters and has long battery life.

Tritonia Scientific Ltd. provides specialist diving support for underwater scientific research projects, either university-based programmes or in support of government agency science. Tritonia has used Aquatic 2 Tinytag data loggers for many years, using divers to deploy and retrieve these loggers as it removes the need for buoyed lines rising to the surface which could be pulled up or run over by mistake.

The recorded data has been used in numerous studies across a number of scientific disciplines. Aquatic temperature data is important for understanding how ecosystems function and the long-term consequences of anthropogenic drivers, for example, the steady rise in greenhouse gas emissions, and dynamic changes in temperatures. The monitoring takes place over a number of time phases and at different depths depending on the nature of the study, but some of the studies are now yielding long-term time series of over 20 years.

Typically the data loggers are used to verify seawater temperature proxies. An example of this is the long-lived molluscArctica islandica which is used by scientists to generate time-series using their growth rings. Tritonia’s temperature datasets can be used to match the modern growth rings against known temperatures. Another use is to deploy the loggers over a latitudinal range to generate temperature profiles against which scientists can compare the growth rates of subtidal kelp species in order to predict what the future impacts may be of warmer seas around the UK.

The data loggers monitor the changes in seawater temperatures at different depths, typically 10, 20 and 30 metres. Monitoring intervals on the long-term time series are set to either 10 or 12 minutes. Most of the data loggers used on the long-term monitoring have been deployed off the west coast of Scotland, but they have also been used on short-term experiments in the tropics and in both Polar Regions. The loggers are deployed in pairs just in case of any losses or failures.
