Naval EarthMap Observer (NEMO) Program

Abstract

NEMO has the long-term goal of characterizing the dynamics of the littoral environment through the use of hyperspectral imagery (HSI) and the development of coupled physical and bio-optical models of the littoral ocean. The collected images provide critical phenomenology to model the littoral environment. Specific areas of interest for the Naval applications include water clarity, bathymetry, underwater hazards, currents, oil slicks, bottom type, atmospheric visibility, tides, bioluminescence potential, beach characterization, atmospheric water vapor, and subvisible cirrus along with terrestrial images of vegetation and soil.
