Laboratory Verification of the Optical Turbulence Sensor (OTS): Particulate Volume Scattering Function and Turbulence Properties of the Flow
Abstract
Our goal is an extensive tank validation of the Optical Turbulence Sensor (OTS). This sensor uses a Hartman optical wavefront sensor to determine turbulence characteristics and to characterize the particulate field. The OTS has recently undergone successful field testing. The ocean trials indicate that the OTS surpasses in many ways current microstructure based instruments to quantify turbulence. Furthermore, it is able to measure particles.
