Turbidity Sensor

The Aanderaa Turbidity Sensors detects infra-red light scattered by particles suspended in water.

The Aanderaa Turbidity Sensor is based on the Seapoint Turbidity Meter. The sensor detects light scattered by particles suspended in water. This measurement is known to have a good correlation to the amount of suspended matter in water and can be used to monitor e.g. sediment, algae or particle pollution. The sensor generates an output voltage proportional to the turbidity or suspended solids.

Turbidity Sensor 4112 can be mounted directly on the top-end plate of the Aanderaa SeaGuard Current Meter, or on cable connected to the current meter or datalogger. The sensor output is analog, and output from the current meter is in engineering units (FTU).

Application Areas:

  • Pollution monitoring
  • Water and waste water quality
  • Sediment transport
  • Ocean profiling
  • River and stream monitoring

Other available turbidity sensors:

  • Turbidity sensor 4112
    • Fits directly onto the top end plate of the Seaguard® platform
    • Depth range is 2000m

Oxygen Sensors

The Aanderaa Oxygen Optode was the first and only to measure dissolved oxygen for years without drift  - now it is one of the fastest!

Ocean Waves

Surface waves are formed by winds either locally as "wind waves" with shorter periods, or further away as “swell" with longer periods. A rare case of extremely long period waves are tsunamis from e.g. earthquakes and landslides. Because ocean waves can travel far and can contain high energy it is important to measure Ocean Waves to understand their impact on shipping fishing, tourism, constructions, shorelines, water mixing, sediment resuspension, gas exchange etc.
