AUTONOMOUS REMOTE SENSOR FOR DETERMINING A PROPERTY OF A FLUID IN A BODY OF WATER

摘要

An autonomous remote sensor for analyzing a fluid in a body of water comprises: a vessel, wherein the vessel moves through the body of water; and an analyzer, wherein the analyzer: (A) is located on or adjacent to the vessel; (B) incorporates one or more Integrated Computational Elements (ICE); and (C) is capable of determining at least one property of the fluid by at least contacting the fluid with radiated energy and detecting the interaction between the radiated energy and the fluid. A method of analyzing a fluid in a body of water comprises: providing a vessel, wherein the vessel moves through the body of water; and determining at least one property of the fluid using the analyzer. The analyzer can also have a spectral resolution less than 4 nm.
