There are several ocean science community-developed and supported software resources available for LISST and Hyper users interested in logging and/or processing data in other ways than supported by Sequoia’s standard software: PyOPIA PyOPIA is a...
A melting pot Researchers in oceanography come to the field from all sides: physicists, biologists, geologists, geographers, hydrologists, mathematicians and many more. As a result, there can be a confounding number of terms for the same thing. An example...
Understanding particle behavior in the aquatic environment is fundamental to unraveling key processes in biogeochemistry, sediment transport, and ecosystem dynamics. Since 1995, Sequoia’s LISST and Hyper instruments have become important tools for quantifying...
When designing a transmissometer or a laser diffraction-based sensor for particle size analysis, an important consideration is the beam acceptance angle. A transmissometer measures a—generally small—portion of the forward-scattered light: light that...
In the underwater world, visibility is everything. Whether it’s a diver navigating murky waters, an autonomous vehicle scanning the seafloor, or a naval operation relying on optical sensors, understanding how light behaves underwater is critical....
