as listed in Jonasz M. 1996. A collection of marine volume scattering functions. MJC Optical Technology, Beaconsfield, QC, Canada.					

RESULTS:
Log-normal fit to 0.1 through 80 deg data for the volume scattering function (VSF)

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

where

	---value---	----SD----
a0	+2.2146E+00	5.9793E-02
a1	-1.7594E+00	2.0235E-02
a2	-8.5319E-02	8.2076E-03

and Theta is the scattering angle in degrees.
