Point spread function of seawater: Models compared Parent topic

Comparison of PSF models for seawater
 
Fig. 1. Comparison of models of the point spread function (PSF) of seawater (after Hou W et al 2008). The BLUE curve represents "benchmark" results of Monte Carlo modeling (data file) by using a measured volume scattering function (Figure 2, data file). Fly the mouse over any "show" link in the list below to highlight the corresponding data RED (a corresponding data file can be accessed via each "data file" link below):

All PSFs are normalized to unity at 0.1 rad and use these parameters: θ0 = 0.03 rad, ω0 = 0.87, τ = 5.5, except for the model of Duntley SQ 1971 which uses only ω0 and τ. In the model of Dolin L et al 2006, the above values of θ0, ω0, τ give q = 7.6 (see Hou W et al 2008).
