Abstract:

The principal objective of this project is to evaluate various techniques for parallel or nearly-parallel determinations of light scattering and particle characteristics using a broad suite of experimental approaches and instruments, including both benchtop and in situ instrumentation. A second objective is to characterize variability in the volume scattering function and particle size distribution for various optical water types and samples.
