Investigations of Light Scattering by Ocean Waters

Abstract

Our overall, long-term goal is to significantly advance our understanding of the light scattering properties of marine particles as well as their general optical properties. Our goal is to study particle optical properties using a unique set of new optical instruments that we have developed on previous ONR funded projects. Observational studies will be conducted at sea in various coastal waters, and careful laboratory experiments of particle optical properties will be performed.
