Research abstract
THE PROPOSAL PRESENTS A DESIGN FOR A VISIBILITY MONITORING INSTRUMENT FOR USE UNDERWATER AT LOW LIGHT LEVELS. THE INSTRUMENT WILL USE SOLID STATE PHOTODETECTORS, AND WILL PROVIDE A DYNAMIC RANGE OF 10 TO THE 5TH POWER TO 10 TO THE - 6TH POWER FOOT-CANDLES IN CONJUNCTION WITH A 10 CM. PATH TRANSMISSOMETER TO MEASURE TWO IMPORTANT PARAMETERS USED IN ESTIMATING TARGET VISIBILITY IN TURBID MEDIA. THE DESIGN WILL MAKE USE OF MICROPROCESSOR BASED DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS,BE FULLY BATTERY POWERED, AND USE A "LAPTOP" PERSONAL COMPUTER AS A DISPLAY AND STORAGE MEANS. THE COMPACT DESIGN WILL BE PORTABLE AND SUITABLE TO OPERATION FROM A BOSTON WHALER SKIFF.
