Follow along on the story of development and testing of the TurbTube. From its early days as a submission to the Innovation Depot, through testing, and along in to the Open File Report process. Ask questions of one of the original submitters, Earnie McCoy, and the designer of the current tube, Bryce Redinger.

  • Notes
  • 'This is independent
  • *** I had previously submitted a session on 'Indirect Measurement of Peak Flows at Culverts' for this workshop. Please CANCEL that session
  • Additional to this presentation
  • an outdoor one would be o
  • and backend systems
  • and gather feedback for future implementation. Jack Eggleston has asked Kim Schaeffer and Chris
  • as it will be incorporated into this more general session.
  • but I have a hotspot. Presuming cell coverage is ok
  • but not in depth
  • but ties into Patrick Haluska and my talk regarding LoRaWAN. The demonstration in that talk will utilize similar underlying systems.
  • but ties into Trevor Violette's talk regarding ntfy systems.'
  • Can do 20 mins if that's better for scheduling
  • Can do 50 mins if it fits better
  • communications
  • Coordinate with other LabVantage talks from Kalfsbeek and others
  • Could fit in efficiency track
  • I am attempting to get 2-3 other people to help with this session
  • I am participating in another talk related to Superfly. It would be helpful if my two talks could exist on the same day. Dave Rus submitted the Superfly talk. It is a trio of talks in a time slot.
  • I could expand this to 80 minute session if that helps.
  • I could lengthen this to 80 minutes if that was beneficial.
  • I will have others present this just don't know who yet; may not do it this year.
  • I will need free cookies to encourage people to attend.
  • I would love to be on the agenda. Thanks!
  • I would prefer this to be offered towards the beginning of any of the coding sessions
  • I'm not sure which track this session belongs in: AQUARIUS? COMPUTER TOOLS? EFFICIENCY? DATABASE?
  • If there is a Monday Data Chief meeting I will present this talk during that meeting. If there isn't one
  • In past years we've done this in 2
  • It would be good to include with other groundwater network presentations.
  • it's a good introduction. If folks had internet available
  • makes the most sense after other LIMS talks announcing timelines and higher-level plans.
  • Milk
  • Monday session
  • more cookies
  • n/a
  • None.
  • or 4 hour blocks
  • Planning a larger 1/2 Image Velocimetry Training class/track on Monday (or it has been Mondays in the past). This is just a normal discussion/seminar
  • please let us know as soon as possible so I can see if the presenters are available any other times. In past yea
  • Please try to avoid scheduling conflicts with sessions describing other image velocimetry tools
  • possibly some AI/ML if we get that much built before the workshop...
  • Prefer to include in a groundwater focus session with a presentation by Candice Hopkins following this presentation. Thanks
  • Probably fits in an imagery track (even though there isn't one this year). It's going to focus on gage hardware
  • Put it in whatever track you'd like.
  • Relates talks about the future of lab data in AQSamples
  • Should be on similar track for WMA LIMS Workflows session and any NWQL ASR Submission sessions
  • shouldn't need special IT support
  • so I don't need to be a part of the entire session. I will need at least 2 sets of surveying equipment (I can bring my own). I will need at least an indoor space
  • so they should be sequential in the schedule.
  • standalone training that is specific to this instrument only
  • such as the IVy software developed by Frank Engel.
  • Thank you!
  • Thanks for all your work!
  • Thanks!
  • that would be helpful for troubleshooting questions at the end.
  • The LDM Open Forum has typically been done on Monday so the LDMs could attend the other sessions throughout the week. If Monday will not work
  • there are more in depth presentations being done by other WMA team members this week. If possible this class should come first in the WDFN presentations
  • There are multiple 'Future Directions' talks I have planned but people do not need to attend each of them. They deal with different aspects and are stand alone.
  • There will be at least one other salt dilution presentation. It would be ideal if this presentation could precede it.
  • This is a broad intro to the Water data for the nation homepage and tools
  • This is a follow up to the Part 1 NuGo2 session
  • This is a placeholder for the typical Monday DC meeting
  • This is independent
  • This is part of several talks I am proposing but they do not build on one another. People can attend this without having attended the others.
  • This presentation is subject to change and/or addition or subtraction of presenters based on field support frameworks that currently under evaluation.
  • This session is for managers only.
  • This session will be a good followup to the 'Intro to dataRetrieval' session proposed by Laura DeCicco.
  • This should come after our longer 50 min presentation
  • This talk is intended to be a standalone presentation on a new tool to use when processing submersible pressure transducers. It applies to any use for submersible pressure transducers that involves deploying the sensor in the air. I selected surface water
  • This will cover high-level overview of UAS operations general information for WSC management and scientists. This is very much a presentation and NOT a training session.
  • This would fall under the general umbrella of Water Mission Area -Observing Systems Division technical support to WSCs
  • This would work well as the first of a 3 x 20 minute session that will be followed by Dave Rus presenting on the Triangle project and then finishing with a LIMS-to-AQS talk by Kate Norton
  • This would work well as the middle of a 3 x 20 minute session that is preceded by a Superfly-LIMS talk and followed by a LIMS-to-AQS talk by Kate Norton
  • too. Newish tool we've recently improved and could help save time.
  • usually on Monday.
  • we hope to have an exhibit in the common area with large monitors to run live demos of WaterMAP
  • which will be for managers only. There are still plenty of details to work out on our end. We've had as many as ~100 people in the past. Thanks.
  • will cover some general CQW practices
  • Will need VPN
  • work with people one-on-one
  • Would pair well with any other Salt Dilution trainings
  • You guys are the best!
  • You guys rock!
