Laser measure of sea salinity, temperature and turbidity in depth

Hirschberg, J. G.; Wouters, A. W.; Byrne, J. D.

A method is described in which a pulsed laser is used to probe the sea. Backscattered light is analyzed in time, intensity and wavelength. Tyndall, Raman and Brillouin scattering are used to obtain the backscatter turbidity, sound velocity, salinity, and the temperature as a function of depth.
