Scintillation is what makes stars twinkle. It is what causes mirage in deserts or on hot surfaces. It is what causes shimmer underwater in the vicinity of hot vents in oceans. These effects result from temperature fluctuations in air or water. The same...
How to Compute the Mean Particle Diameter from a LISST Volume Distribution [Sequoia, March 26, 2010] In the table below, the computation of the mean particle size from a LISST volume distribution is outlined.Column A is the size class...
Is there a low velocity threshold for the LISST-SL? Does it need a minimum flow speed in order to sample? What is that? Absolutely! The internal pump in the SL will adjust the intake velocity to match the ambient flow speed in order to make the sample...
Updated 29 April, 2016 The loss of accuracy, i.e. error in concentration can be caused by a number of factors. Overall, the accuracy of LISST instruments is demonstrated by this vertical profile taken in a river by USGS scientists. The black points are...
