Abstract
The Deep Ocean Optical Masurement (DOOM) System is described and results of in-situ measurements of the inherent optical properties of the sea are presented. The DOOM system measures to any depth in the ocean the following optical parameters: (1) spectral attenuation coefficients from 380 to 560 nanometers, (2) volume scattering function at a wavelength of 436 nanometers and (3) background illumination of both celestial and biological origin. Illustrative data are presented for eight cruises to the North Atlantic and Mediterranean from December 1967 through April 1972.
