Coastal Geosciences/Optics
Abstract
The goal of this activity is to determine the sources, distribution, and natural variability (concentration and properties) of optically important matters in the coastal ocean in support of Naval Mine, Undersea, and Special Warfare. Research investments in this activity support the development and testing of expendable and autonomous bioluminescence sensors, the continued development of extended range underwater imaging technologies, and algorithm development and testing for application to ocean color remote sensing from aircraft and space in order to characterize key features of the coastal battle space such as bathymetry, shallow-water bottom types, and the distribution of ocean water optical properties.
