SeaOWL UV-A

Crude oil-in-water sensor with chlorophyll fluorescence and 700 nm backscatter to discriminate oil from natural fDOM sources, rated to 2000 m.

Description

Based on the ECO sensor, SeaOWL UV-A measures crude oil-in-water using UV-A excitation and blue emission, with 5X optical resolution improvement over its predecessor and dynamic gain to avoid saturation in heavily impacted environments. It also measures chlorophyll fluorescence and 700 nm backscattering to discriminate crude oil from phytoplankton and other fDOM sources.
