Abstract
The response of sensors to various water quality and environmental parameters is usually well known on an individual basis, but, until recently, rarely determined on a system basis. This is largely the result of the difficulty associated with testing large systems by changing the environmental inputs when modifying the local environment of the sensor (changing the temperature to test temperature sensors, pressure to test pressure sensors, etc.) once it has been integrated into a system. The design of a lightweight profiling sonde for the National Water Research Institute, Pacific and Yukon region, necessitated the measurement of the 'flushing' time of the system sensors for conductivity, turbidity, and fluorescence. Since this type of response is dependent upon the flow field around the sonde, a system test was required.
