Abstract

Transport theory methods can be applied to optical oceanography to solve forward and inverse problems. The combination of delta function representing forward and backward scattering with isotropic scattering is used to obtain scalar and plane irradiances for Henyey-Greenstein phase function. Once the irradiances are obtained, the apparent optical properties can be found analytically and numerically. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
