Description:
A description is given of a program concerned with the development and the evaluation of techniques for the measurement of water depth with a pulsed laser. Airborne laser bathymetry makes use of a light pulse which is sent downward. Information concerning the water depth is provided by the time interval observed between the arrival of the light pulse reflected from the water surface and the arrival of the pulse coming from the ocean floor. Details concerning the instrumentation used for the developed measurement method are discussed. Attention is also given to field experiments and aspects of system performance.
