Factors Affecting the Backscattering Probability in the Sea
Abstract
The long-range goal of my ONR-sponsored research has been to use bio-optical techniques to understand the distributions, in space and time, of phytoplankton and associated particles (such as detritus, coccoliths, viruses, etc.). In particular, my work has focused on understanding the scattering properties of different types of marine particulate material, in order to better model radiative transfer in the sea.
