Abstracts

EN

A general problem of determining water inherent optical properties from natural light radiance distribution in the sea and its depth dependency is analysed. Expressions for light-beam attenuation coefficient of practical significance are obtained. The presence of internal sources of light energy like fluorescence and Raman scattering by water molecules is included in consideration.
