Abstract:

In this paper we consider the spatial distribution of image illuminance for the case of airborne sensing of a foam-covered sea surface by a narrow laser beam. Analytical expressions are obtained for the mean illuminance for both the clear and turbid aerosol-loaded atmosphere. Sea-surface foam is demonstrated to affect the spatial distribution of the image illuminance.
