Planning for Coastal Airborne Lidar Surveys - Water Turbidity

Service.by Pixalytics Ltd
Pixalytics Turbidity product provides an assessment of the penetration depth of a Lidar laser beam, from an airborne survey system, within coastal waters. Turbidity is the cloudiness of water and is affected by the material both dissolved, and suspended, in the water. The cloudier the water, the shallower depth the Lidar will be able penetrate and so it may not reach and be able to map the seabed. The turbidity of coastal waters varies with the seasons and can be influenced by specific episodic events. Organisations working in marine engineering, energy industries, fisheries and conservation who have to map coastal waters want to ensure airborne Lidar surveys are the correct approach before going through a tendering process. This product provides the likely penetration depth without the need to visit the area and so helps make the decision on whether Lidar surveying is a suitable approach and the most effective time to undertake a survey.
