DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXPERIMENTAL AIRBORNE LASER REMOTE SENSING SYSTEM FOR THE DETECTION AND CLASSIFICATION OF OIL SPILLS

Earlier work in analyzing fluorescence properties of oils and oil slicks led to a program for further developing remote sensing of oil spills using laser-excited oil fluoresence. As part of the program an analysis of the airborne operational and environmental system requirements resulted in a system definition, the establishment of a set of component specifications, system assembly and testing. Twenty-five different oil samples were prepared and measured. Tests were conducted in-house and in the field, and resulted are reported.
