Environmental Characterization of Mine Countermeasure Test Ranges: Hydrography and Water Column Optics

Abstract

We wish to observe the hydrographic factors that regulate optical changes in near-shore water columns and support companion laser imaging system tests. The physical, biological and optical oceanographic data developed under this project will be used as input to optical and environmental models to assess the performance characteristics of laser imaging systems.
