Abstract:
A new technique employing optical polarization is used to examine polarized radiation scattered by the sea in a region west of the Island of Hawaii. The technique is a very sensitive indicator of land sediment runoff following a storm.Polarization data acquisition details are described with an approach easily adapted to simplified instrumentation.
