In situ determination of oil-spills using a laser fluorosensor

Abstract

An experiment research for determination of oil-spills on the sea surface was performed by using a shipboard laser fluorosensor in Jiaozhou Bay. The laser-induced fluorescence(LIF) spectra of five kinds of oils were obtained. The results show that the LIF spectra of the in situ measurement are basically consistent with those of the laboratory measurement, and these spectra can be discriminated.
