1. The Citclops project
• Extending historic water-quality data sets, using :
• old-fashioned techniques
• citizen science
• smartphones
• Water-quality descriptor used:
• Color
• Transparency
• Fluorescence

2. Scientific importance of color and transparency
• Besides water temperature and salinity the color
and transparency of water belong to the oldest
observed descriptors of lakes, seas and oceans.
• The color of water is an essential climate variable
defined by the World Meteorological Organization.

3. What gives color to seas, lakes and rivers?
• Phytoplankton
(chlorophyll): small
algal cells growing in
fresh and saline waters
• Suspended particles:
sand, clay, organic
material
• Yellow substance or
humic acid: yellow
CDOM by rivers

4. How are color and transparency determined?
Besides hyper- and multi-spectral radiometers:
• the new KdUINO buoy
• the Forel-Ule scale (historical method, 1890)
• the Secchi disk (historical method, 1865)

5. Citizens and science
• Citizens can help science by using the
smartphone app.
• Pictures and metadata are sent to the
Citclops database for further analysis.
• Historical data can be complemented
with new data collected by the citizens.
