Light Transmittance / Secchi Depth in Sea Water

Light Transmittance/Secchi Depth in Sea Water

The "Light Transmittance/Secchi Depth" related to primary productivity in lakes refers to the sunlight hitting the water surface. Light transmittance and Secchi Depth are interrelated expressions. Seki Depth is a measurement performed using the Secchi disk. It is used to measure the clarity of water in sight with the Secchi disc.

In general terms, Seki Depth is defined as lowering the Secchi disc to a level that is not visible in the water it is immersed in and calculating the disappearance distance. Seki depth refers to overall clarity. It is one of the important measurements performed in sea waters.

EPA 841-B-97-003: Determination of Light Transmittance / Secchi Disk Method

"Light Transmittance / Secchi Depth", one of the analyzes carried out to detect turbidity in sea water, is carried out in the accredited and authorized Nanolab Environmental Analysis Laboratory.
