Abstract:
The Secchi disc is a tool for measuring water transparency. For over a century, the device has been used in pelagic environments to assess surface productivity and overall water purity. Two new Secchi discs were constructed and tested during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 329 for use by staff of the R/V JOIDES Resolution during future expeditions. The results of the initial deployments of the discs during the expedition in the center of the South Pacific Gyre, the world's "clearest" marine water, are presented here.
