Abstract
The instantaneous height of the entire surface of a fluid executing hi gh amplitude motion can be obtained by photographing light that has be en forced to diffuse through the liquid. This technique has been appli ed to resolve solitons and observe the frequency and wave-number spect ra of ripple turbulence. Higher order correlations and various models of turbulence can be probed with this method.
