The Deep Ocean Optical Measurement (DOOM) Program
1971
Matlack, Donald E.
A shipborne system is described and results of in-situ measurements of the inherent optical properties of ocean water are presented. This Deep Ocean Optical Measurement (DOOM) system is designed to measure to any depth in the ocean spectral attenuation coefficients from 380 to 560 millimicrons, the volume scattering function at 436 millimicrons through an angular range from six to 92 degrees, and background illumination of both celestial and biological origin. Representative data obtained from December 1967 through January 1970 on six measurement cruises to various areas of the Atlantic are presented. Future cruises and plans are discussed.
