Inverse Radiative Transfer Analysis for Ocean Optics
Abstract
The long-term goal of this research is to support the work of ocean optics experimentalists by developing analytical and numerical methods for solving radiative transfer inverse and forward problems. The ongoing research on inverse problems includes methods for obtaining the sea water absorption and scattering coefficients, the bottom albedo, or the spatial profile of internal sources (e.g., inelastic scattering, bioluminescence, and/or fluorescence) from light field measurements at a single wavelength. New techniques for solving forward radiative transfer problems are also investigated to help with the development of methods for solving inverse problems.
