Theoretical Dependence of the Near-Asymptotic Apparent Optical Properties on the Inherent Optical Properties of Sea Water

Creator:

Beardsley, George F., Jr. and Zaneveld, J. Ronald V.

Abstract:

The apparent optical properties of sea water are a set of measurables that describe the geometry of the submarine light field. These properties are related to the inherent optical properties—the volume attenuation coefficient and the volume scattering function—through the process of radiative transfer. A numerical approximation to the equation of...

Modulation Transfer Function of Sea Water

Creator:

Zaneveld, J. Ronald V. and Beardsley, George F., Jr.

Abstract:

The modulation transfer function (MTF) of a simple submarine viewing situation is computed as a function of range and sea-water properties. For the cases considered, we found that the MTF follows the simple exponential law, exp(-ω/ω₀), where ω is the spatial frequency in lines/deg and where ω₀ is a complicated...
