A Device for Protecting the Optical Windows of the Moored Radiometer from Biofouling

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to the debilitating effect of biological and mineral fouling on the optical windows, the in situ development period and data quality of moored radiometer have been very limited, especially in coastal waters. In this paper, a device for protecting the optical window of the underwater radiometer from biofouling was designed, developed and tested, and with this device, the surface of the optical window can be cleaned for several times before and after radiometric measurements to clear away the biofouling and the mineral that have adhered to the optical windows. The reliability of this device has been tested in the offing of our country.
