Abstract :
In this presentation a one-parameter model of marine two-term Henyey-Greenstein (TTHG) phase function is proposed. The original three-parameter TTHG phase function was reduced to a one-parameter TTHG phase function by utilizing experimental regression dependencies between two integral parameters of the phase function, average cosine and average square of cosine of scattering angle, with the probability of backscattering. An algorithm and FORTRAN program to calculate one parameter two-term Henyey-Greenstein phase function of scattering is presented
