Observation of sunlight enhanced backscattering from the sea bottom near the beach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes a natural manifestation of the enhanced backscattering effect in conditions when sunlight is scattered by the sea bottom covered by shallow rippled water. In this system the water surface plays the role of a phase screen that focuses the light on the bottom, while the sandy bottom acts as a set of random single scatterers.

Simulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملDesigning Low Impact Wastewater Discharge from Solar Distillation Site to Sea
Dry areas near the sea can obtain fresh water through solar distillation of saline sea water resources. However, these solar distillation sites produce wastewater as a result of desalination of sea water with high salt concentration. Waste must be disposed of with the least effect on the receiving environment (sea, in most cases). Initial dilution and its characteristics play important roles in...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of Jason-1 Sea Surface Height and Backscattering during Sumatra-adaman Tsunami
The existing tsunami warning system is based primarily on registration of underwater earthquake events. Unfortunately this approach has intrinsic drawbacks: the relationship between quake force and tsunami intensity/propagation is complicated and not clear. Another approach relies on direct measurement of tsunami wave height by detection of pressure change near the bottom. Such a buoy network i...
متن کاملSources and fate of microplastics in marine and beach sediments of the Southern Baltic Sea—a preliminary study
Microplastics' (particles size ≤5 mm) sources and fate in marine bottom and beach sediments of the brackish are strongly polluted Baltic Sea have been investigated. Microplastics were extracted using sodium chloride (1.2 g cm-3). Their qualitative identification was conducted using micro-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (μFT-IR). Concentration of microplastics varied from 25 particles kg...
متن کاملThe catch composition of the beach seine fishery in southeast of the Caspian Sea (Case study: Golestan Province)
The beach seine fishery is performed regularly along Iranian coasts of the Caspian Sea. The aim of the present study was to determinate of the species composition of beach seine fishery in Golestan Province. Due to the extent of fisheries cooperatives in the study area 7 cooperatives was selected, namely Magtymguly, Niyaz Abad, Yashar, Shayan Aydin, Golestan, Charqly, Norgolestan and Nemune. S...
