New light scattering model to help assess and predict the state of marine systems
An international research team has developed a three-stream model of light scattering in the sea. It processes satellite data on the incoming and emitted light fluxes into information on water characteristics: presence of impurities, phytoplankton concentration, pollutants, and other parameters. The system of equations for this study was written by Ilya Chernov, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Applied Mathematical Research KarRC RAS. The model has been successfully tested in the Mediterranean Sea, and researchers are interested in trying it in application to the Arctic.
