Abstract
We use Monte Carlo time-dependent simulations of light pulse propagation through turbulent water laden with particles to investigate the application of Multiple Field Of View (MFOV) lidar to detect and characterize oceanic turbulence. Inhomogeneities in the refractive index induced by temperature fluctuations in turbulent ocean flows scatter light in near-forward angles, thus affecting the near-forward part of oceanic water scattering phase function. Our results show that the oceanic turbulent signal can be detected by analyzing the returns from a MFOV lidar, after re-scaling the particulate back scattering phase function.
