Volume Scattering Functions for Selected Ocean Waters

Abstract
The Visibility Laboratory has, under previous contract with the Naval Air Development Center (NADC), Warminster, Pennsylvania, developed and constructed two instruments to measure the volume scattering function of water. These two instruments, plus a transmissometer, were used during 1972 to gather data on the optical properties of various waters. It is the purpose of this final report to present the results obtained from these measurements. Three general types of water are covered: deep clear oceanic water (Tongue of the Ocean), nearshore ocean water (off southern California), and very turbid harbor water (San Diego Harbor).
