Underwater Light Attenuation Measurements

Floyd A. Kinder

Abstract

Light attenuation measurement techniques will be discussed and typical data presented. Measurements taken near San Clemente island will be presented of the volume attenuation coefficient, diffuse attenuation coefficient, and spectrographic characteristics. Typical volume attenuation measurements taken in the north Pacific at depths to 6000 feet will also be presented.
