A DEEP OCEAN NEPHELOMETER

Abstract

An experimental nephelometer is described that is compact, independent of ambient temperature, easily deployed, battery operated, and capable of giving continuous in situ, real time measurements of turbidity in the deep ocean. The instrument has constant light intensity and gives repeatable readings under experimental conditions.
