These data are discussed in Lee M. E., Haltrin V. I., Shybanov E. B., Weidemann A. D. 2003. Light scattering phase functions of turbid coastal waters. In: OCEANS 2003 MTS-IEEE Conference Proceedings on CD-ROM, pp. 2835-2841, San Diego, California, September 22-26, 2003; ISBN: 0-933957-31-9; Holland Enterprises, Escondido, CA, USA; file P2835-2841.pdf.

RESULTS:
Log-normal fit to 0.1 through 76.8 deg data for the volume scattering function (VSF)

VSF_fit = exp(a0 + a1 * ln(Theta) + a2 * ln(Theta)^2)

where

	---value---	----SD----
a0	+6.5880E+00	2.5608E-02
a1	-1.5748E+00	2.5606E-02
a2	-1.5601E-01	6.2570E-03

and Theta is the scattering angle in degrees.
