AbspectroscoPY, a Python toolbox for absorbance-based sensor data in water quality monitoring

Abstract

Absorbance-based sensors produce large raw attenuation datasets. We developed AbspectroscoPY, an open-source Python toolbox to implement semi-automated processing of these data and explore the full potential of high-frequency measurements.

Advances in Catchment Science, Hydrochemistry, and Aquatic Ecology Enabled by High-Frequency Water Quality Measurements

“…The streamPULSE platform facilitates stream metabolism modeling through providing consistent approaches to sensor data collection and protocols for data quality assurance and control and stream metabolism modeling. 26 Additionally, several freely available toolboxes designed to analyze high-frequency water data have been released in the past years, including the R packages oddwater developed to detect outliers in WQ data from in situ sensors, 183 waterData which calculates and plots anomalies, ensemble hydrograph separation scripts, 175 and EndSplit for end-member splitting analysis 184 and Python packages AbspectroscoPY to analyze UV–vis sensor data 185 and pyhydroqc for automating detection and correction of anomalies in sensor data. 169 …”

Next generation decentralized water systems: a water-energy-infrastructure-human nexus (WEIHN) approach

“…170 Moreover, deploying advanced sensors and data processing algorithms becomes vital to furnish precise and timely information about the performance of infrastructure components. 83,171 Real-time monitoring and control can augment the capabilities of failure detection and diagnosis and enable swift response and reorganization of individual components without disrupting the overall system. 80 Furthermore, the incorporation of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and MLA can foster the development of predictive maintenance strategies.…”

Optical fiber sensors for water and air quality monitoring: a review

“…This sensing principle is commonly used in chemical, biological, and environmental fields to detect and analyze the presence of chemicals or other specific targets in a sample. 5,43,44 As light of a specific wavelength travels through a sample, molecules or atoms in the sample may absorb the light energy. The absorbed photons excite the electrons of the molecules or atoms, causing them to jump to a higher energy level.…”

“…Absorption spectroscopy optical fiber sensing is a technique used to gather information about a target substance by measuring the degree to which the substance absorbs light at a specific wavelength. This sensing principle is commonly used in chemical, biological, and environmental fields to detect and analyze the presence of chemicals or other specific targets in a sample 5 , 43 , 44 . As light of a specific wavelength travels through a sample, molecules or atoms in the sample may absorb the light energy.…”
