Relating the Optical and Acoustical Properties of Oceanic Particles

Abstract

Long-term goals are: 1) To develop improved predictive capabilities for the distribution of particulate material in the coastal ocean and 2) To develop predictive models for optical properties from measurements of acoustical properties and vice versa. The objective is to understand the relationship between acoustical and optical properties of suspended particles as a function of the particle's composition, size distribution and degree of aggregation.
