  2. Turbidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity

    Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air.The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality.

  3. Secchi disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secchi_disk

    The disc is mounted on a pole or line and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity. Since its invention, the disk has also been used in a modified, smaller 20 cm (8 in ...

  4. Turbidimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidimetry

    Turbidimetry (the name being derived from turbidity) is the process of measuring the loss of intensity of transmitted light due to the scattering effect of particles suspended in it. Light is passed through a filter creating a light of known wavelength which is then passed through a cuvette containing a solution.

  5. Nephelometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephelometer

    A nephelometer installation at Acadia National Park Turbidimeters used at a water purification plant to measure turbidity (in NTU) of raw water and clear water after filtration Because optical properties depend on suspended particle size, a stable synthetic material called " Formazin " with uniform particle size is often used as a standard for ...

  6. Ocean turbidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_turbidity

    If the water has a large turbidity spike below 10 metres, the spike is unlikely to be seen by a satellite. For very shallow clear water there is a good chance the bottom may be seen. For example, in the Bahamas, the water is quite clear and only a few metres deep, resulting in an apparent high turbidity because the bottom reflects much band 1 ...

  7. ISO 7027 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_7027

    ISO 7027:1999 is an ISO standard for water quality that enables the determination of turbidity. [1] The ISO 7027 technique is used to determine the concentration of suspended particles in a sample of water by measuring the incident light scattered at right angles from the sample.

  8. Underwater vision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_vision

    This is largely avoided by having an air space between the water and the cornea, trapped inside the mask or helmet. Water attenuates light due to absorption [2] and as light passes through water colour is selectively absorbed by the water. Color absorption is also affected by turbidity of the water and dissolved material.

  9. Turbidity current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbidity_current

    A turbidity current is most typically an underwater current of usually rapidly moving, sediment-laden water moving down a slope; although current research (2018) indicates that water-saturated sediment may be the primary actor in the process. [1] Turbidity currents can also occur in other fluids besides water.
