Secchi disk

The Secchi disk is commonly used to test for eutrophication.

- The average Secchi disk measurement is 4 meters, based on 8 years of data.

Turbidity was measured at 13 centimetres by the Secchi disk method.

Lake Abita's water clarity was measured at seven feet with a secchi disk reading.

He invented the Secchi disk, which is used to measure water transparency in oceans and lakes.

Water clarity in the lake is low, with secchi disk measurements averaging less than 3 meters.

In the first summer Secchi disk transparency increased to at least 2.5 meters, the maximum depth of the lake.

Secchi disk measurements do not indicate how attenuation changes with depth or particular wavelengths of light.

Turbidity in lakes, reservoirs, channels, and the ocean can be measured using a Secchi disk.

A Secchi disk depth of as little as 1 metre is not uncommon after windy days.

George C. Whipple modified the original all-white Secchi disk to ".

In terms of transparency, it is one of most transparent lakes in the world, with Secchi disk visible more than 35 m deep.

The transparency of the water, which determines the depth of the photic zone, is measured simply with a Secchi disk.

The light depth or transparency is measured by using a Secchi disk, a 20-cm (8 in) disk with alternating white and black quadrants.

The method is used in conjunction with the Secchi disk submersed to half the Secchi depth.

The black and white Secchi disk is the standard disk currently used in limnology investigations and marine water quality studies.

Water clarity was moderately good throughout the lake, and the secchi disk results indicate the lake is mesotrophic, or moderately enriched.

The initial Secchi disk transparency was only .3 meters, less than the 1 meter maximum permitted for swimming pools in The Netherlands.

The Secchi disk has the advantages of integrating turbidity over depth (where variable turbidity layers are present), being quick and easy to use, and inexpensive.

Secchi disk measurements in the North Pacific, while clearly a surprisingly sensitive measure of phytoplankton biomass, cannot be used to infer changes in phytoplankton productivity.

This depth in metres divided into 1.7 yields an attenuation coefficient (also called an extinction coefficient), for the available light averaged over the Secchi disk depth.

During this period, five years of basic chemical information was collected, in addition to 8 years of Secchi Disk Transparencies (SDT).
