Predicting Polarized Light Scattering by Marine Micro-Organisms.
Abstract
The objectives of this research is to develop a numerical or analytical model that predicts angle-dependent scattering of polarized light from ensembles of non-spherical marine organisms and marine detritus and to verify and examine the validity and range of applications of the model by comparison with exact calculations and/or experimental results as appropriate. Specific tasks toward the objectives are: (1) to develop an artificial neural network to recognize features in the scattering matrix elements associated with the irregular shape of oceanic scatterers, and (2) to refine and enhance the coupled-dipole approximation method.
