Abstract :
Existing models of seawater optical properties usually do not explicitly include quartz particles. These models are good for open ocean waters and biologically stable coastal waters but fail to adequately predict optical properties of coastal waters with shallow sandy bottoms. In this paper the authors try to fill this gap by extending their previous optical model of quartz suspensions in seawater by including calculations of all inherent optical properties
