Abstract

Abstract: Laser remote sensing of an algal bloom in a freshwater reservoir on the Volga River in central Russia was carried out. The compact Raman lidar was installed on a small ship to probe the properties of the surface water layer in different typical regions of Gorky Water Reservoir. Elastic and Raman scattering as well as chlorophyll fluorescence were quantified, mapped and compared with data acquired by a commercial salinity, temperature and depth probe (STD probe) equipped with a blue-green algae sensor. Good correlation between lidar and STD measurements was established.
