Lowell Instruments, LLC was founded in 2012 to provide advanced data loggers, software and instrumentation to the international scientific and engineering community. Lowell Instruments first major project, the MAT-1 data logger, was developed for the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service for use in an oceanographic tilt current meter. Lowell Instruments has continued to develop a complete line of current meters for use by oceanographers, coastal geologists and marine ecologists.
