Theoretical Studies of Time Dependent/Independent Radiative Transfer Including Inelastic Scattering for Both Active and Passive Sources
1998
Kattawar, George W.
Long term goals are to obtain a thorough understanding of the behavior of the complete Stokes vector both within the ocean and in the atmosphere as well for both elastic and inelastic scattering for both active and passive sources. Specifically, we want to see how one can use polarization information to obtain more information about the IOP's of both oceanic and littoral zone constituents. We also want to explore the efficacy of polarimetric time-of-flight lidar techniques in determining salinity and speed of sound in the ocean as well as submersible object detection. We want to continue our collaborative program in ocean polarimetry with the group in Minsk headed by Dr. Eleonora Zege. We are also starting a collaborative program with the NRL Optics Group at Stennis.
