Abstract:

The paper presents the results of laboratory and field experiments which demonstrate the capabilities of the versatile lidar developed. The lidar is designed for monitoring the ecological state of water, soil, and vegetation. In particular, parallel measurements of the fluorescence spectra of soil, plants, and sea water reveal close agreement of their main spectral features. It was found that the spectra of the return signals from samples of sea water varied with time. This variability is indicative of the need for in situ fast analysis of water media.
