WA Dept of Transportation is widening the I-5 freeway. While the construction company is working on the area where the I-5 goes over the Puyallup river they are required to monitor the turbidity before and after the construction site to make sure they are not increasing the background turbidity. This area of the river is tidally influenced, so what is upstream and downstream can potentially shift at different tides. There are 3 YSI Pisces buoys with EXO sondes equipped with turbidity sensors on the river. One is downstream of the bridge, one is upstream and one is right at the construction site. The buoys use the velocity direction data from the SL to decide which one is the background measurement and which one is the downstream measurement and calculate the turbidity difference. If the difference exceeds a certain value it sends an alarm to the construction company.
