  • Abstract
    We report preliminary results from a pilot experiment to image the dispersion of fluorescent dye in the ocean surface layer using an airborne LIDAR. In-situ observations of currents, stratification, and dye concentration were also made from a ship. We give an overview of the experiment, and propose an inversion method for estimating dye concentration from observations of fluorescence and backscatter.
