LISST - OST

LISST - OST | Optical Sediment Trap

Sinking POC
Particle flux
Argo

The LISST-OST measures diffuse attenuation to derive sinking POC and particle flux. It’s designed for integration with Argo and other autonomous floats, tracking particles as they settle.

It can also be used on fixed platforms with an optional wiper to prevent biofouling.

Measures diffuse optical transmission with off-axis optical geometry to reduce interference

Large optical beam (approx. 5 cm) with ambient light rejection via light modulation

Externally powered with RS-232 real-time output and onboard temperature compensation

Optional wiper accessory for long-term deployments, with depth-ratings of 30m or 100m (Eulerian mode only)

Included
  • 2m communication cable
