Diffuse reflection coefficient of a stratified sea.
نویسنده
چکیده
A differential equation of a Riccati type for the diffuse reflection coefficient of a stratified sea is proposed. For a homogeneous sea with arbitrary inherent optical properties this equation is solved analytically. For an inhomogeneous sea it is solved approximately for any arbitrary stratification. The resulting equation expresses the diffuse reflection coefficient of the sea through vertical profiles of absorption and backscattering coefficients, bottom albedo, and sea depth. The results of calculations with this equation are compared with Monte Carlo computations. It was found that the precision of this approach is in the range of 15%.

Sea Surface Reflection and Power Attenuation Analysis of Radio Wave in UHF Satellite Communications
Ultra High Frequency (UHF) band is increasingly widely used in military maritime satellite communications due to its good communication performance. Electromagnetic wave emitted by satellite is reflected when reaching the sea surface, and multipath fading is very serious which causes interference on the received signal, especially when satellite elevation angle is low. In this paper, the UHF ba...
متن کاملEvaluation of downwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient algorithms in the Red Sea
Despite the importance of the optical properties such as the downwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient for characterizing the upper water column, until recently no in situ optical measurements were published for the Red Sea. Kirby et al. used observations from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd(490)) i...
متن کاملThe small slope approximation reflection coefficient for scattering from a "Pierson-Moskowitz" sea surface
Firstand second-order reflection coefficients are presented for the small slope approximation. The first-order reflection coefficient is identical to the Kirchhoff, or physical optics, result, and the secondorder reflection coefficient reduces to those of perturbation theory and the Kirchhoff approximation in the appropriate limits. Numerical results are obtained for acoustic or TE-polarized el...
متن کاملDIFFUSE REFLECTANCE MEASUREMENTS FROM DIFFERENT SURFACES
Relative diffuse reflection measurements from the original and ground surfaces using a He-Ne laser are reported. The intensity measurements for the metallic, transparent dielectric, matte plastic surfaces and colored papers are presented. Our results indicate that among metallic surfaces tested, aluminum has the highest diffuse reflectance; while the original stainless steel surface shows the l...
متن کاملExplicit results for wave scattering and transmission through a rough fluid–fluid interface
This paper describes an analysis of reflection and transmission of acoustic waves from an imperfectly reflecting, rough fluid–fluid interface within the Kirchhoff approximation. It presents the results of calculations of the coherent and diffuse field. This work is motivated by the fact that few explicit results of the characteristics of the scattered and transmitted wave field exist in the lit...
