Ocean optics attenuation coefficients: local versus spatially averaged

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The local diffuse attenuation coefficients for monochromatic net irradiance and monochromatic scalar irradiance differ from the corresponding spatially averaged coefficients except when both equal an eigenvalue of the radiative transfer equation. Explicit equations to relate spatially averaged to local coefficients that may be useful when inferring self-consistency (i.e., closure) of optical properties are given.
