Inherent Optical Properties in the Benthic Environment

Abstract

The long term goals of this effort are to delineate the small scale structure of the inherent optical properties (IOP) in the benthic environment and to investigate how small scale variations in the IOP affect radiative transfer and visibility in the benthic environment. The primary objective this year was to determine the small scale temporal and spatial variability of the Inherent Optical Properties (IOP) during the CoBOP field experiment using the diver operated ac-9 developed last year.
