Laser and opto-acoustic remote sensing of upper ocean layer.

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

In the paper the experimental results obtained during laser and opto-acoustic sounding upper ocean layer are presented. Lidar complex installed on board of reseach vessel working on 532 nm wavelenght is discribed. Acoustic signals wave generated by CO2-laser. Lidar permitted to carry out measurements of profiles of volume coefficient light back scattering up to 80 m with space resolution 1.5 m. Those data allow to register dynamic processes and to measure its parametrs. Layer structure of laser irradiation extinction, which occured in some hydrological situations was found. Investigations of acoustic signal up to 100 m were carried out. Acoustic and optical remote sensing were made simultaneosly and it allows to have more accurate information on ocean structure.
