Research abstract
This project is to provide an affordable, easy-to-use, hyperspectral water properties measuring instrument that is designed for universal marine use. It is an instrument that combines, in a single package, capabilities to accurately measure the apparent, inherent, fluorescent and the CTD properties of water. The sensor captures a complete record of all of the water¿s properties in a single cast. It is a self-calibrating instrument with near real time output signals that are processed as tabular data or as graphical images. A complete system consists of a sensor unit, a connecting cable and a laptop computer programmed with the operating software. The system has deployment applications from a dock, a ship or from a mooring.
