Real-Time and Long-Term Monitoring of Coastal Water Turbidity Using an Ocean Buoy Equipped with an ADCP.

In this study, an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) operating at 600 kHz was installed on an ocean data buoy in the Qigu waters, Taiwan, to gather real-time sound echo intensity data. These data were then correlated with turbidity measurements obtained by a turbidimeter mounted on the buoy's mooring line at a water depth of 13 m. The data buoy operated from 6 June to 16 August 2017.
