Abstract
The use of laser-glare method of sea surface sounding for aircraft recording various characteristics of surface waving (surface curvature, spatial scale and slopes of the waves) is under discussion. The model of aircraft scanning laser locator (ASLL) implementing this method is presented. The estimates of basic locator parameters and necessary technical requirements are given. Preliminary ASLL field tests have been performed confirming the possibility of recording requested surface waving parameters. The performed analysis of ASLL-recorded histograms of spatial waving periods revealed the presence of two main groups of waves. The results of analysis are confirmed by comparison with photo recording data. Finally, the conclusion on prospects of ASLL using for solving problems of operational oceanology is drawn.
