Currently displayed models were developed using data from YSI 6-series sonde. Equipment was upgraded to YSI EXO sonde on 8/17/20. This will introduce additional uncertainty that may not be reflected in the computed confidence limits.
Model Form #1
log10(SSR) =
4.7904 + 0.5665 log10(TURB)
- 1.3957 log10(SC)
where:
- SSR is computed suspended sediment, in milligrams per liter
- TURB is turbidity, YSI model 6136, in formazin nephelometric units
- SC is specific conductance at 25 degrees Celsius, in microsiemens per centimeter
