Abstract :
This paper analyzes 20 recently released phase functions of light scattering by natural water (18 marine and 2 lake) together with 15 Petzold marine phase functions. All phase functions with regression coefficients exceeding 0.998 are represented in an analytical form that allows one to compute their values at any scattering angle and the values of any derived parameter. The values of statistics with accompanied inherent optical properties that are necessary to compute modulation transfer functions are presented in a tabular form.
