Measurement of suspended particulate matter concentration (SPMC) spanning large time
and geographical scales have become a matter of growing importance in recent decades. At …

Turbidity is one of the key water quality parameters in environmental monitoring, water
treatment or industrial process operation. Turbidity is however very challenging to measure …

The sediment transport plays a major role in every aquatic ecosystem. However, the lack of
instruments to monitor this process has been an obstacle to understanding its effects. We …

Nepheloid layers with elevated concentrations of suspended particulate matter (SPM) are
found throughout the world's oceans. They are generated by both natural processes …

The delivery of excessive fine sediment (particles< 2 mm in diameter) to rivers can cause
serious deleterious effects to aquatic ecosystems and is widely acknowledged to be one of …

Optical turbidity sensors have become standard instrumentation to estimate suspended
particulate matter concentration (SPMC). However, turbidity readings respond to factors …

Hysteresis in the relationship between suspended sediment concentration and flow during
run‐off events is commonly used to inform on sediment sources and hydrological pathways …

Nephelometric turbidity is an optical index for the side scattering of light caused by fine
particles suspended in water. When a mixed composition of suspended inorganic and …

Monitoring suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in rivers is pivotal for water quality
management and sustainable river ecosystem development. However, achieving …

Climate change in combination with land use alterations may lead to significant changes in
soil erosion and sediment fluxes in streams. Optical turbidity sensors can monitor with high …
