This study concerns changes in the solar light transfer in seawater as a result of the appearance of oil substances in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The expected effect of the studies is to gather knowledge that would be useful in designing an optical sensor for monitoring oil substances penetrating the seawater column. The paper presents the process of the Monte Carlo modelling of the upwelling radiance detected by a virtual underwater sensor. Moreover, this article discusses the predicted difference between the intensity of the signal from the upwelling radiance meter and the signal from the downwelling radiance meter. The modelling results suggest that in order to obtain a strong signal indicating the presence of oil substances, the radiance meter should receive light running upwards in the sea depth.

Automated detection of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere can be achieved by applying pattern recognition analysis to passive infrared (IR) multispectral remote sensing data. However, obtaining analyte-active training data through field experiments is time-consuming and expensive. To address this issue, methodology has been developed for simulating radiance profiles acquired using a multispectral IR line-scanner mounted in a downward-looking position on a fixed-wing aircraft.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe standard above-water protocol for measurement of water reflectance uses a measurement of wind speed to estimate the air-water interface reflectance factor and, thus, remove reflected skylight from upwelling radiance. This aerodynamic wind speed measurement may be a poor proxy for the local wave slope distribution in cases such as fetch-limited coastal and inland waters and/or where there are spatial or temporal differences between the wind speed measurement and the location of reflectance measurements. Here, an improved method is proposed, with a focus on sensors mounted on autonomous pan-tilt units and deployed on fixed platforms, replacing the aerodynamic wind speed measurement by optical measurements of angular variation of upwelling radiance.

Land surface temperature (LST) is a preeminent state variable that controls the energy and water exchange between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. At the landscape-scale, LST is derived from thermal infrared radiance measured using space-borne radiometers. In contrast, plot-scale LST estimation at flux tower sites is commonly based on the inversion of upwelling longwave radiation captured by tower-mounted radiometers, whereas the role of the downwelling longwave radiation component is often ignored.
