Summary

To support an investigation of the feasibility of measuring river bathymetry using a polarizing lidar sensor, optical measurements were collected from the Colorado River near Lees Ferry, Arizona on September 23, 2019. Optical measurements were collected with a WET Labs ECO which measures the turbidity and concentration of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and chlorophyll. Absorption and attenuation coefficients were collected with a WET Lab ac-s instrument.
