Published the handbook "Methods for estimating turbidity levels in marine areas evaluation and management criteria"

The document provides an overview of the existing tools to characterize the variability of turbidity in different marine areas (i.e. coastal, confined coastal and offshore). In particular, it outlines a complete framework supporting the statistical characterization of background turbidity values to provide a representation of the effects of natural and anthropic processes that determine the ordinary turbidity values of a site.
