        Hello,

        Is it possible to add specific conductance as a variable for the Atlas Scientific conductivity sensor in Monitor My Watershed?

        Thanks in advance,

        Fiona

          Hi Fiona, @srgdamiano may be able to help you with this. There is also a pathway within the Monitor My Watershed site itself for making sensor requests. I’ll describe it here in case it is also helpful to others.

          When adding a new sensor to a site on MonitorMW, if you don’t see what you need in the Add New Sensor modal window, scroll to the bottom of the modal and click the link to send an email request to the MonitorMW team. If it’s a sensor you’ve already added to your site, navigate to the Manage Sensors page and click the Edit icon on the desired sensor. Scroll to the bottom of the Update Sensor modal window, and you’ll find the same email link.

          I hope this helps!

            I’ve been swamped lately, so I’m behind on sensor requests.

            <div>@fionasouthwell Are you sure you’re measuring *specific conductance*? From what I know of the Atlas sensors, they don’t measure specific conductance, they measure conductivity. I just very quickly skimmed their latest manual and it doesn’t look like that’s changed. To get specific conductance, you must also use a temperature probe and then calculate the specific conductance from the conductivity.  I can add specific conductance, but I’m going to flag it as a calculated value, since the sensor doesn’t measure it.</div>
