Training of TAFIRI staff on the use of a scanning spectrophotometer
TAFIRI staff are trained to measure the spectral light absorption by pigments and dissolved organic material. This information is needed to quantify the spectral signatures of phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter for the remotely sensed colour of Lake Tanganyika. See video by Aman Albogast here:…

Sampling for validation of remote sensing of Lake Tanganyika
Charles Lugomela is assisting TAFIRI staff and Peter Staehr in collection of water samples and measurements of water colour on Lake Tanganyika. The colour of the light leaving the water surface is a result of the optical properties of the particles and dissolved substances in the water column. The water samples were subsequently analyzed in the…

Night time measurements of fishing lights
Huruma Mgana and Peter Staehr doing night time light measurements 10 km of the coast of Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika. Local fishermen collaborate with the CLEAT project to investigate the efficiency of different types of lamps for catching Dagaa. Huruma is lowering a special light sensor into the water. This provides information on the colour which…
