虽然激光器几乎在它开始出现时就已被用来探测大气,但是只是在最近才将它用来研究水路测量。1973年9月12日在沃洛普斯岛由国家宇航局组织了一次关于激光用于水路测量技术研究的会议,以使传感器的研制者与使用者交换成果。本文谈及这次为期一天的专门会议的要点。M.Ringenbaoh(国家海洋监督)J.Bailey(海军研究局)和 D.Bright(国家海洋学局)在他们的评述报告中确认,用机载激光系统 Although lasers have been used to detect the atmosphere almost as soon as it began to appear, it has only recently been used to study waterway measurements. On September 12, 1973, a meeting was organized by NASA on the study of lasers for waterway measurement technology in Worcestershire to exchange information with researchers and users. This article refers to the main points of this one-day special session. M. Ringenbaoh (National Marine Surveillance) J. Bailey (Naval Research Agency) and D. Bright (National Oceanographic Agency) confirmed in their commentary that using an airborne laser system
