9780666120618: Analysis of Laser Fluorosensor Systems for Remote Algae Detection and Quantification (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Learn how laser fluorosensors detect and quantify algae from afar, with methods that adapt to different water conditions.

This technical overview explains how remote sensing with laser-induced fluorescence can measure chlorophyll a in algae. It compares single- versus multi-wavelength approaches and shows where calibration and supplemental measurements are needed to improve accuracy in dynamic coastal and open-ocean waters. The material discusses practical factors that affect fluorescence signals, such as water temperature, nutrient levels, and ambient light.

  • How ground-truth calibration and environmental context influence measurements
  • When and why supplemental measurements are essential for reliable results
  • Differences between single-wavelength and multi-wavelength systems
  • Key variables in error analysis and what they mean for data interpretation

Ideal for readers seeking a concise, applied understanding of remote algae detection using laser fluorosensors and the conditions that shape their effectiveness.
