As you go up in elevation, As air moves over mountains, As you move toward the equator, As you go toward the poles,

Secchi disc created in 1865 by Angelo Secchi circular disk 30 cm (12 in) in diameter used to measure water transparency in bodies of water. the disc is mounted on a pole or line, and lowered slowly down in the water. the depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. this measurement is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity.
