Results of underway laser remote sensing of the Kara Sea surface layer, in continuous automatic mode, are presented from the UFL-9 fluorescent lidar operated aboard the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh during cruise 59 in 2011. The lidar, the approach to interpreting seawater fluorescence, and aspects of calibration and measurement are described; calibration rests on laboratory analysis of surface water samples collected during the cruise. Spatial distributions of chlorophyll a, total organic carbon and suspended-matter concentration in the upper quasi-homogeneous layer are mapped and the characteristic scales of their variability estimated. Relationships between the patchiness of the upper layer and atmospheric forcing and freshwater runoff are shown.
