Method for Measuring the Volume-Scattering Function of Water

advertisement:

The volume scattering function (VSF) of seawater affects visibility, remote sensing properties, in-water light propagation, lidar performance, and the like. Currently, it’s possible to measure only small forward angles of VSF, or to use cumbersome, large, and non-auton - omous systems. This innovation is a method of measuring the full range of VSF using a portable instrument.
