Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Simulations for Ocean Optics: A Practical Guide

Download or read book Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer Simulations for Ocean Optics: A Practical Guide written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a methodology and the equations needed to generate Monte Carlo computer simulations for many common ocean optics applications. These applications include the modeling of natural ocean-atmosphere environments and analyses of laboratory and in-situ optical instrumentation. We attempt to provide enough practical detail to make it straightforward for the reader to write his/her own computer code for his/ her own application. This document also serves as documentation of the methods the authors have used in several specific research projects.
