Description:
Optic technologies and methods/procedures are established across all areas and scales in limnic
and marine research in Germany and develop further continuously. The working group “Aquatic
Optic Technologies” (AOT) constitutes a common platform for knowledge transfer among
scientists and users, provides a synergistic environment for the national developer community
and will enhance the international visibility of the German activities in this field.
This document summarizes the AOT-procedures and -techniques applied by national research
institutions. We expect to initiate a trend towards harmonization across institutes. This will
facilitate the establishment of open standards, provide better access to documentation, and
render technical assistance for systems integration.
The document consists of the parts:
Platforms and carrier systems outlines the main application areas and the used technologies.
Focus parameters specifies the parameters measured by means of optical methods/techniques
and indicates to which extent these parameters have a socio-political dimension.
Methods presents the individual optical sensors and their underlying physical methods.
Similarities denominates the common space of AOT-techniques and applications.
National developments lists projects and developer groups in Germany designing optical hightechnologies
for limnic and marine scientific purposes.
