摘要：Method and apparatus for detecting the presence of hydrocarbons and othersubstance that fluoresces or absorbs light within a body of water which utilizes acontrolled submersible vehicle scanning at or near the water bottom. The methodutilizes a selected frequency light source as carried by the submersible to scan the waterbottom, and the returned light energy, either at the wavelength of oil fluorescing inwater or the source frequency backscatter, is detected and processed for the waterbottom as well as a water region that is a selected distance above the water floor.Alternative forms of apparatus are disclosed for carrying out the functions of both oilfluorescence detection, and for obtaining differential absorption readings as to lightsource backscatter energy that is created by the ambient water and other factors in thewater environmentsuch as marine life, turbidity, etc.
