Analysis of Nearshore Bathymetry and Optical Data from TUPS
1988
Guinasso, Norman L | Jr. | Wiesenburg, Denis A.
During June 1988, an experiment using NORDA's towed underwater pumping system (TUPS) was conducted in shallow water off Panama City, Florida to gather data in support of the Navy's Airborne Bathymetric Survey System (ABS). Continuous measurements were made of upwelling irradiance, fluorescence, transmissivity water depth, temperature, and salinity using sensors in TUPS. Ambient light measurements and navigation data were recorded from instruments aboard the research vessel. This report describes the experiment, the cruise itinerary, and the methods used to carry out out the measurements. Data are presented in graphical form, along with a description of the data reduction protocols and some preliminary results. The ABS uses a laser system in conjunction with a multispectral scanner data are merged together to provide an algorithm which allows computation of depth from the multi-spectral scanner data alone.
