Abstract

ABSTRACT An experimental airborne laser oil spill remote sensing system has been developed. Operating from a U.S. Coast Guard Search and Rescue Aircraft, the system is expected to have the capability of remote detection, coarse oil classification (heavy, medium and light weight) and under certain conditions quantification of oil spills in the marine environment. The system concept is based on a recent investigation at TSC of laser stimulated oil fluorescence as a technique for the remote sensing of oil spills, including laboratory and field measurements. The development and laboratory tests results of the experimental system are described.
