Imaging System Performance and Visibility as Affected by the Physical Environment

Abstract

The long-term goals of Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO): Radiance and Visibility as Affected by Inherent Optical Properties (award number N0001409C0443) and Imaging System Performance and Visibility as Affected by the Physical Environment were to perform detailed investigations of inherent optical properties (IOPs) and the effects of IOP variability on underwater radiance and visibility and to investigate the relationships between physical forcing and optical properties, including the imaging performance parameters. These efforts were aimed at supporting the Radiance in a Dynamic Ocean (RaDyO) program, which was devoted to the topic of light propagation and imaging across the air-sea interface and within the surface boundary layer of natural water bodies.
