Abstract

The airborne lidar with two segmented field-of-view (FOV) receivers was used to detect the subsurface scattering layers. Significant differences were observed in the waveforms from one channel with small FOV of 6 mrad and the other channel with larger FOV of 40-6 mrad. The larger FOV of 40-6 mrad was to provide a larger dynamic range for the deep-water signal detection. A small-angle approximation based Lidar waveform simulation model was developed, and found that these differences are owing to the narrow beam divergence of laser pulse of only 0.3 mrad. Next, an algorithm, which incorporates a waveform-decomposition technique and a lowpass digital differentiator, was then used to detect the scattering layers from both small- and large- FOV channels. The observation of scattering layer along the coastal region of Sanya Bay of China shows that, more than three thin scattering layers can be found in the same water column close to the coasts, and the maximum depth of the scattering layer detected by the large FOV Channel can be up to 35m, and internal waves can be detected from spatial distributions of scattering layer. It can be found that the airborne bathymetry lidar with segmented field-of-view receivers can also be a great tool for the subsurface scattering layer detection.
