Hi Ulf,
It seems very nice. I didn't understand where the device would be installed (e.g. vessel, seafloor) or the operation depth, but I was wondering if there is any way to couple some kind of sediment trap to the instrument. Or maybe the usage of acoustic technology?
To help you with some ideas, I recommend you to look for Autonomous Lander Vehicles and the paper below:

Assunto: [Coral-List] Sediment spill monitoring instrument
Dear coral listers,
I'm designing a next generation instrument for monitoring sediment spill on sensitive bottoms, and would like feedback on desirable features. The ideas include:
A turbidimeter to comply with regulations Visible light sensor to see how much light reaches the bottom SediMeter to measure the sediment accumulation on the bottom Camera to get photos at regular interval of what the bottom looks like An accelerometer to make sure the instrument remains upright and hasn't fallen over
Device(s) to keep the sensors clean
Would this be a useful instrument as a complete measurement station? Is there something missing? Is something redundant?
I appreciate any feedback and I don't mind if you send it in private.
