Status: Complete
Report Date: 11/09/2010

Summary:

Researchers dramatically increased the accuracy of the automatic sampling of suspended solids by creating a device that mixes equal volumes of samples collected from multiple locations in the water column, yielding a combined sample that more closely reflects the average for the water column as a whole.
