E. Omongain et al., SPECTRAL ABSORPTION-COEFFICIENT MEASURED IN-SITU IN THE NORTH-SEA WITH A MARINE RADIOMETRIC SPECTROMETER SYSTEM, Applied optics, 36(21), 1997, pp. 5162-5167
A submersible marine radiometric spectrometer system, capable of simul
taneous measurements of the in situ spectral and angular properties of
the underwater oceanic light field, is used to determine spectral inh
erent optical properties of marine waters. The inversion methods used
to convert the sampled light field measurements into estimates of spec
tral absorption are presented and sample results for three water types
obtained during a cruise in the North Sea are given. (C) 1997 Optical
