Short summary
We compared observations from the operational Time Series Station Spiekeroog, related to water transparency, conducted correlation tests among these measured parameters, and explored the utility of both acoustic and optical tools in monitoring water transparency. Our findings suggest that both optical and acoustic measurements can be reasonable proxies of water transparency with the potential to mitigate gaps and increase data quality in long-time observations of marine environments.
