Summary
Abstract: The NASA Airborne Oceanographic LIDAR (AOL) project is involved in several
different ways of remotely measuring chlorophyll and other biological and
chemical substances in the world's oceans. The AOL uses sensors that are flown
in aircraft to make these measurements.

The data are collected with the Airborned Oceanographic LIDAR Fluorosensor
(AOLFL), a laser fluorospectrometer which is carried ... View entire text
