Abstract
The current paper presents the results of a full-scale study of the fluorescence features of pollutants ( diesel fuel, Urals oil), as well as an alcoholic solution of oleic acid, which imitates oil by visco-elastic characteristics. The experiment was carried out on the Gorky Reservoir under conditions of wind waves. Local areas of artificial slicks were created for multiple intersections at different angles to the wind and waves with continuous lidar sounding of the upper water layer. Signals were recorded by the ninth generation UVL-9 laser ultraviolet fluorescent lidar developed by the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. At signal analysis, spectral intensities and fluorescence features of the studied substances are determined, possibilities of slick detecting as well as film thickness estimation are made, examples of surfactant film detecting behind the oleic slick where visual observation of pollutants does not give a result are showed. The obtained results are useful for the further development of fluorescent methods and devices for operational remote sensing of surface pollution on wave water surface.
