Scientific preprint on continuous river turbidity monitoring available for open consultation

New Study on River Turbidity Monitoring: Public Consultation Open Until November 1, 2024

The preprint titled "Technical note: Image processing for continuous river turbidity monitoring - full scale tests and potential applications" involves contributions from key partners of the OurMED project, including Domenico Miglino, Khim Cathleen Saddi, Francesco Isgrò, Salvatore Manfreda from the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II (UNINA), and Seifeddine Jomaa, Michael Rode from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). This study, now available on EGUsphere for public consultation until November 1, 2024, is an integral part of the OurMED initiative focused on sustainable water management in the Mediterranean. It explores innovative methods of continuous river turbidity monitoring using digital cameras, including drones and multispectral systems, to enhance water quality detection and management.

The authors have opted for a public peer review for potential publication in the Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (HESS) journal. This process allows researchers, referees, and the scientific community to post interactive comments on the preprint. All comments are citable and archived, and authors are encouraged to respond promptly to foster further scientific discussion.

Why Participate in This Public Consultation?

The open discussion aims to gather feedback and suggestions to improve the study before its final version. This is a key opportunity to contribute to the OurMED project’s goals of advancing water monitoring technologies. All members of the scientific community are invited to contribute with relevant and respectful comments. Abusive comments will be moderated by the responsible editor. The discussions will remain accessible beyond the public discussion phase, providing a unique opportunity to engage in the enhancement of this research.

Access the Publication and Join the Discussion:

Next Steps:

After the public discussion phase ends, the authors will respond to all comments before submitting a revised version of the manuscript for final peer review and potential publication in HESS. Don’t miss this opportunity to contribute to this important scientific debate and to the OurMED project’s mission to improve environmental monitoring of water resources!
