Comparing water transparency measurements obtained with low-cost citizens science instruments and high-quality oceanographic instruments

OCEANS'14 MTS/IEEE Conference, 7-10 April 2014, Taipei, TaiwanThe low cost moored system KdUINO allows to measure parameters related to water transparency, specifically the diffuse attenuation coefficient parameter. In this contribution, its measurements are compared with other high precision scientific commercial instrument in order to estimate the sensor measurement errorThe research described in this paper is supported by the Citclops European project (FP7-ENV-308469), the MARduino FECYT project (FCT-13-6911).
