Abstract

It is here demonstrated that the air-water interface is a region of energy trapping or enhanced radiant flux. The Three-Parameter Model of the submarine light field predicts aspects of this phenomenon from the average cosine parameter (an apparent optical property') and permits the direct measurement of energy trapping. This model also extracts energy absorption effects from those attributable to energy redistribution in the submarine light field.
