Erroneous data from a SUNA V2
The figure above comes from a SUNA V2 in a river in the Midwestern United States, deployed shortly after receiving a freshwater calibration from Sea-Bird Scientific. All factory testing and troubleshooting from the end user show that the sensor appears to be working properly, and the integrated wiper was intact and functional upon retrieval. Even in the strangest environments, nitrate isn’t consumed rapidly enough to become depleted in a matter of seconds, nor is the Nitrogen Cycle fast enough to replenish it just as quickly. Can you diagnose what is happening to this SUNA V2?
