Abstract
ABSTRACT Detecting oil in the marine environment with remote sensing is difficult at the best of times. When that environment includes ice, kelp or seaweed, and the myriad substrates found on beaches and shorelines, the detection becomes increasingly difficult. The laser fluorosensor is the only sensor that detects a primary characteristic of petroleum products, namely, their unique fluorescence spectral signatures. A laser fluorosensor reliably detects oil on ice in ice-infested waters, among floating kelp and seaweed beds, and on complex beach and land environments. This paper will provide details of the Scanning Laser Environmental Airborne Fluorosensor (SLEAF) and the anticipated benefits of the SLEAF system to the oil spill response community.
