Abstract
Dataset consists of data collected during a tower deployment of a Sequoia LISST 100-ST sensor in the surface waters to monitor suspended sediment concentrations and sizes.
Description
LISST towers were deployed for a prolonged amount of time to monitor suspended sediment fluxes. Because the towers were deployed for longer periods of time, biofouling did occur. To combat biofouling, the LISSTs were treated with Interlux MicronCSC anti-fouling paint and all instrument bodies were wrapped in cellophane and electrical tape for easy removal of biofouling. There was no anti-fouling paint applied to the optical sensors of the LISST. It should be noted that data occurring closer to the start date of the deployment is more reliable than data collected later in the deployment. Any excessive biofouling of the tower should be listed in the logbook during retrieval.
List of folders:
• LISST – This folder includes all raw data from the tower deployment. If the data have been processed, MATLAB m-files for processing are also included.
• Logbook – Hand-written field notes and instrument setup documents. This file also contains the deployment log and set-up of tower instruments. All field notes and complications/observations are included here.
