Modifications of airborne oceanographic lidar for the long range P-3 missionsThis has been an extraordinary series of Airborne Oceanographic Lidar (AOL) missions. The AOL was flown over the North Pole on three low altitude sea ice mapping flights. These flights were followed by six Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) flights based from Hawaii and Christmas Island to measure chlorophyll along the equator. On return to the west coast, there were several terrain mapping flights in Nevada and Arizona. This was followed by mapping of the Greenland ice cap from the airport at Sondresstrom Greenland. This research proposal was developed to support the AOL instrumentation research that prepares the AOL for each science mission. Saint Vincent College physics professor, Dr. Richard Berry, is engaged in LIDAR instrumentation research to improve the AOL. Dr. Berry's participation in the AOL mission was to implement the instrumentation modifications that optimized data acquisition.
