TL;DR: Seven models for computing underwater radiances and irradiances by numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation are compared and provide consistent output, with errors in computed irradiances that are seldom larger, and are usually smaller, than the experimental errors made in measuring irradiances when using current oceanographic instrumentation.

TL;DR: The results of a study of optical scattering and backscattering of particulates for three coastal sites that represent a wide range of optical properties that are found in U.S. near-shore waters can be well approximated by a power-law function of wavelength.

TL;DR: A Monte Carlo simulation and the Three-Parameter Model of the submarine light field are used to analyze the effect of water Raman emission at 520 nm in clear ocean waters and a new optical parametrization for clear ocean water is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of the inversion of irradiance measurements for the inherent optical properties of a hydrosol such as the world ocean has been examined with the NOARL optical model.

TL;DR: In this article, the mass retention on a glass fiber filter, at a given salinity, is essentially constant, no matter the volume of seawater passed through the filter, and the sea salt plus water of hydration retention on glass fiber filters is directly proportional to the salinity of the seawater filtered.
