Abstract:

Lidar returns obtained in sensing the seawaters in the region of the Hebrides Islands with an airborne lidar were processed. The series of the extinction coefficient measured in short time intervals above a stable sea were compared, and it was found that the field of the extinction coefficient in water has a cellular structure. The horizontal dimensions of the extinction coefficient inhomogeneities in this experiment varied from hundreds of meters to several kilometers. The values of the extinction coefficient fluctuated up to 50% about the mean value. The correlation length for the extinction coefficient was about 3 km.
