Mueller Scattering Matrix of Sea Water

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Mueller phase matrices of sea water were measured at scattering angles of 20°, 30°, ⋯ 130° for ocean water, coastal water, harbor water, and river water. The measurements were made with a modified Brice–Phoenix light-scattering photometer. The measured phase matrices exhibit strong forward scattering, and the polarization is comparable in form to that due to Rayleigh scatterers but reaches a maximum value in the range 40%–70%. The matrices are also strongly diagonal and approximate the theoretical Mie scattering matrices for spheres.
