Sequoia prepares for the commercial release of the LISST-OST
NEW Optical Sediment Trap prepared for 2025 delivery!
The LISST-OST is designed for integration onto ARGO and other robotic and autonomous profiling floats. The sensor monitors sinking particles by measuring changes in diffuse attenuation as particles settle onto a large collection window and accumulate over time. Changes in the measured attenuation can be correlated with particle flux and used as a proxy for particulate organic carbon (POC) flux. Although designed for Lagrangian floats to perform measurements when parked at 2,000 meters, the LISST-OST can also be mounted on fixed platforms for long-term deployments with an optional wiper accessory to help mitigate biofouling.
