Based on the first airbome underwater targets detection test in China and Monte Carlo simulation
me key factors to the airberne oceanic lidar system
which include effective attenuation coefficient
atmosphere
speed of wind
turbidity layer
sloping of the undempter target
are studied. Some new approximation estimation formulation and curves which are suitabIe for engineering design are firstly derived. The abnormal phenomena in the test are explained. The problems needed to pay nrore attention to are also put forward.
