The Coastal Ocean Imaging Spectrometer (COIS) and Coastal Ocean Remote Sensing

Abstract

The Navy has a requirement to rapidly and covertly characterize the coastal environment in support of Joint Strike Initiatives. Over the past decade we have demonstrated that spaceborne hyperspectral remote sensing is the best approach to covertly acquire data on shallow water bathymetry, bottom types, hazards to navigation, water clarity and beach and shore trafficability to meet those requirements. The long term goal of this work is to put a hyperspectral images capable of making the appropriate measurements in space to demonstrate this capability.
