Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the use of lasers to remotely detect and quantify algae in bodies of water. The author meticulously details the technical aspects of laser fluorosensors, including the derivation of the equation for the fluorescence power received by the system and an in-depth error analysis. The book also delves into the biological and environmental factors that can affect the fluorescence cross section of algae. The author discusses the spectral characteristics of different algal color groups, as well as the influence of environmental parameters such as light history, nutrient availability, and water temperature. Through a detailed analysis of single and multiple-wavelength laser fluorosensor systems, the author meticulously evaluates their capabilities and limitations. The book provides a thorough understanding of the factors that influence the accuracy of remote chlorophyll a quantification, highlighting the importance of optimized excitation wavelengths, remote measurement of attenuation coefficients, and supplemental instrumentation to mitigate the impact of environmental factors. The author's insights into the potential and challenges of laser fluorosensor systems for remote algae detection are invaluable for researchers, environmental scientists, and anyone interested in the application of lasers for environmental monitoring. This book is a significant contribution to the field, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding and advancing the use of laser fluorosensors for the remote sensing of algae. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
