  "term": "Depth-integration sediment sampling",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A technique for collecting a water-sediment sample that represents the average sediment concentration across the entire depth of a river or stream. A specialized sampler is lowered to the streambed and raised back to the surface at a constant transit rate, allowing water to enter the nozzle continuously. This method provides a vertically averaged sample that is more representative of the total sediment load than a single point sample.",
