Seawater Temperature Measurement from Raman Spectra

Abstract

Raman spectra of water have been measured in the laboratory using improved optical instrumentation. The linear depolarization ratio agrees well with results found in the literature. Various portions of the isotropic and anisotropic components of the Raman spectra can be identified with distinct structural species in liquid water. The model predicts that the depolarization will be most temperature dependent in the long-wavelength portion of the spectrum, as is demonstrated by the data.
