The LISST-AOBS Super-Turbidity sensor is a patent pending, simple, low-cost sensor to measure suspended sediment concentration (SSC).

Super-Turbidity is a patent pending technology developed by Sequoia. It involves pairing a LISST-ABS with a turbidity sensor using a weight factor, which results in a single, combined output from the two sensors. Once paired, the LISST-AOBS retains near-constant calibration for SSC over a wide grain-size range. The LISST-AOBS Super-Turbidity sensor is supplied by Sequoia as an integrated and paired turbidity and acoustic sensor with a variety of cabling and data logger options.
