Topics related to oceanic remote sensing are examined, focusing on laser methods for measuring sea surface conditions, the nonlinear dynamics of surface waves, and laser methods of sound generation in free boundary fluid theory of oceanic acoustic propagation. The laser studies include measuring sea waves by reflected laser emission statistics, laser airborne sensing field experiments, mapping the surface distribution of chlorophyll and organic solute, measuring the temporal structure of an echo signal, the effects of round trip laser emission propagation through a turbulent surface, the capabilities of nonlinear Raman spectroscopy for remote diagnostics of water bodies. Other topics include the detection of ocean bottom relief by local geoid, the remote sensing of surface wave interaction, the parametric generation of edge waves, laser-induced sound generation in conditions of fluid surface turbulence for application to optoacoustic profilometry, and methods of acoustic propagation theory in stratified horizontally-inhomogeneous absorbing boundary waveguides.
