PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT The 5th PiE Conference will be held in Budapest at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The University is co-sponsoring the conference along with Sequoia Scientific, Inc. Assoc. Prof. Sándor Baranya is the local...
Waterways, Maintenance Dredging, and Contaminated Sediment Removal Dredging is essential for creation or maintenance of navigation channels, as well as for removing contaminated sediments. The contamination of water by dredged sediments is regulated...
Sequoia manufactures two instruments based on laser diffraction for monitoring sediments entering hydro turbines. These are the LISST-Hydro and LISST-Infinite. These two produce data on sediment concentration sorted into 3 size classes – fine (<75μm),...
The LISST-ABS would reveal rich sediment structure that turbidity misses. For measuring suspended sediments, the use of optical backscatter sensors or other turdibity sensors is widespread. At the same time, it is understood that these sensors respond...
This Note is written for those users who wish to get a deeper understanding of acoustic backscattering and its use in the LISST-ABS. It expands on the very simple page, How LISST-ABS Works. What follows is a description of coherent and incoherent scattering,...
