Description
Michigan Aerospace Corporation proposes to develop an underwater analogue to its atmospheric LIDAR systems. This underwater laser-based sensing system, to be named Pequod, will provide depth-resolved measurements of ocean temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll biomass, and dissolved organic matter classification with a common laser and receiver. The aim of the Phase I effort will be to modify our existing LIDAR simulation software to account for the ocean environment and then explore the design trade space to identify and design a LIDAR system best suited to making precise depth-resolved measurements of temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll biomass, and dissolved organic matter classification with a ship-mounted instrument that can deliver real-time data products to end users.
