Abstract: A simple procedure was developed to fit the first three moments of an actual phase function with a three parameter analytic phase function. The exact Legendre Polynomial decomposition of this function is, suitable for multiple scattering calculations. The use of this function is expected to yield excellent flux values at all depths within a medium. Since it is capable of reproducing the glory, it can be used in synthetic spectra computations from planetary atmospheres. Accurate asymptotic radiance values can also be achieved as long as the single scattering albedo omega sub 0 is greater than or equal to 0.9.

The role of seawater constituents in light backscattering in the ocean
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the roles played by various seawater constituents in light backscattering and address a question of missing backscatter in the open ocean and show that due to substantial variability in water composition, different types of constituents can explain the missing back-scatter.
