Estimating Free Water Metabolism
miniDOT loggers are used by a group of limnologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in order to estimate free water metabolism.
During the summer of 2011, they placed the miniDOT loggers in large glass bottles incubated in lake water to estimate free water metabolism while removing much of the physical noise. The bottles were filled with lake water from various depths and then suspended with a miniDOT at those depths for 48 hours. Using this method, they were able to tease out metalimnetic production and respiration in a location of the water column that had been dominated by internal waves when using a suspended sonde.
