Reflection of a Short Narrow Light Pulse from a Scattering and Absorbing Ocean

Abstract

A very simple analytical expression for the shape of a pulse reflected from scattering and absorbing seawater is obtained. The resulting equation can be used for algorithms connected with the rapid assessment of optical water properties from remote platforms.
