Abstract
The paper gives a brief introduction to creation, development, and main achievements of the Laboratory of Ocean and Atmospheric Optics of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oceanology, Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) since its foundation in 1969. Under a leadership of DSc. professor K.S. Shifrin, a wide range of problems in ocean optics were investigated in 1969–1991: the theory of absorption and scattering of light in sea water, determination of the quantitative and qualitative composition of ocean suspension matter based on the characteristics of light scattering, etc. A significant contribution to the theory of underwater vision was also made by DSc I.M. Levin and other scientists. The results significantly contributed to hydrooptics and ensured progress in the development of technical means for observing underwater objects and the aquatic environment. The laboratory staff conducts expeditionary measurements of hydrophysical and hydrooptical characteristics in the seas of Russia. Based on the results of comprehensive research, highly effective remote optical methods for ocean sensing are being developed. In recent years, the laboratory has paid significant attention to the direct development and creation of technical means for remote sensing of the World Ocean – radiometric LiDAR systems.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
