The YSI-650 MDS (“650”) device is connected to the sonde in the field. The season’s cumulative seasonal data are copied from the sonde to a file on the 650. Back in the office, the 650 file is copied to a local drive using YSI’s EcoWatch or EcoWatch Lite software. That copied file is then renamed and written to a network drive where it is guaranteed to be backed up. That file and related information are then submitted to the Project Leader using an email message with a prescribed format. The deliverable item ultimately produced from the data files is called FQ_E and includes the raw data downloaded from each sonde during the monitoring season. Once certified, these data are submitted to SEAN’s online cumulative database, NPS-Water Resources Division’s NPStoret database, and the EPA national water quality database. In addition to the sonde data files, the email submission also includes the site visit workbook “xlsx” file that corresponds to the visit. Collectively, the monthly data files and site visit workbooks are the basis for deliverable FQ_C for the season.
