OPTICAL SURVEILLANCE AND MEASUREMENTS IN SWEDISH WATERS

Recently developed hydro-optical measurement systems are presented: the Hydro-Optical Sensor System (HOSS) and the Anchored Daylight Attenuation Monitor (ADAM). HOSS is a mobile profiling instrument made for rapid multiple optical water quality measurements. ADAM continuously measures the underwater daylight attenuation at a fixed site in a test area. The aim is to acquire knowledge about the optical properties of Swedish coastal waters at different times, which is of great importance for the performance of most hydro-optical equipment. Systems for underwater imaging and underwater laser bathymetry are briefly described.
