Summary

As part of its mission to unify and standardize research and development activities of Federal agencies involved in fluvial sediment studies, the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project (FISP) partnered with the USGS Wyoming-Montana (WY-MT) Water Science Center to examine the potential for use of standard, low-tech laboratory equipment to perform calibration checks on the LISST-ABS™ sensor (hereinafter ‘ABS sensor’) on long-term deployments. The ABS sensor was developed by Sequoia Scientific (Sequoia) as an alternative to turbidity sensors for monitoring suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) in surface waters. The lab experiments were intended to provide USGS scientists and the public with interim guidance to assist in operation [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to examine the potential of USGS personnel to accurately perform calibration checks on the Sequoia LISST-ABS suspended sediment sensor. These data can be used to re-create the accuracy and repeatability analysis described in the associated Open-File Report.
