Algorithms for ocean-bottom albedo determination from in-water natural-light measurements

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A method for determining the ocean-bottom optical albedo R b from in-water upward and downward irradiance measurements at a shallow site is presented, tested, and compared with a more familiar approach that requires additional measurements at a nearby deep-water site. Also presented are two new algorithms for estimating R b from measurements of the downward irradiance and vertically upward radiance. All methods performed well in numerical situations at depths at which the influence of the bottom on the light field was significant.
