Measurements of spectral transmission and backscattering of light in first year sea ice, Tent Island, McMurdo Sound
Entry ID: K132_1985_1987_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: In situ measurements of the the spectral transmission and backscattering of light was conducted on first year ice to characterise the optical properties of sea ice. The average scattering length and attenuation length was determined for 13 wavelength bands in the wave length range between 400nm to 1100nm. A weakly divergent monochromatic light source was placed on the surface of the ice and the ... View entire text
