FOREL ULE SCALE

The Forel-Ule Scale is a simple tool to approximate the color of bodies of water and is used in limnology and oceanography. This measurement requires the FUS toolkit which includes the colour palette of 21 different colour bars ranging from indigo-blue (index 1) via green (index 10) to cola-brown (index 21) and a Secchi Disk (30 cm in diameter). The Secchi disk has an attachment mount to connect a weight and rope. The color of the water body is compared to the Modern Forel-Ule scale colour palette. The result is a color index for the water body which can for example be used to identify gross biological activity.
