- Turbidity Monitoring During Port Dredging OperationsPort dredging keeps berths accessible, maintains navigation channels, and supports the movement of commercial vessels. It also disturbs bottom sediment,…
- Integrating Turbidity And Chlorophyll Sensors For Algal Bloom MonitoringAlgal blooms can change rapidly in response to sunlight, water temperature, nutrient loading, flow, and water-column mixing. A monitoring program that measures…
- How to Reduce Noise in Turbidity Data From Wave-Induced MotionTurbidity measurements collected in rivers, harbors, coastal zones, and dredging areas often contain rapid fluctuations that do not represent an actual change…
- Deploying Groundwater Profilers In Karst Aquifer SystemsKarst aquifers behave differently from porous, granular aquifers. Water can move through enlarged fractures, conduits, caves, and solution channels at speeds…
- Refractive Index and Optical Backscatter Sensor PerformanceOptical backscatter sensors estimate turbidity or suspended-solids concentration by transmitting light into the water and measuring the portion scattered back…
- Real-Time Suspended-Solids Monitoring in Industrial SlurriesIndustrial slurries can change concentration, particle size, viscosity, and flow behavior within minutes. In mineral processing, dredging, aggregate washing,…
- Selecting Reliable Turbidity Sensors for Hypersaline WaterHypersaline environments place unusual demands on turbidity monitoring equipment. Water with a very high dissolved-salt concentration can affect optical…
- Using Optical Backscatter to Estimate Bedload Transport in RiversBedload transport is the movement of sediment along or very close to a riverbed. Sand, gravel, and small cobbles may roll, slide, or bounce under the force of…
- Groundwater Profiler Data Quality Control For Reliable MeasurementsGroundwater profilers reveal how temperature, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved constituents, and suspended material change with depth. That vertical detail…
- Calibrating a suspended-solids sensor with site-specific sedimentA suspended-solids sensor estimates the concentration of particles in water by measuring how those particles interact with light. The instrument may report an…
