 Visibility Laboratory 

 Scripps Institution of Oceanography 



Professional interests have been in the optical properties of 

 the atmospheric and oceanic environments and their measurement. 

 Main current interests are in the study of the visibility of submerged 

 objects as seen from above, the assessment of sea state by the deter- 

 mination of the fractional area of the sea surface covered by white 

 water, and the determination and subsequent removal of atmospheric 

 transmission effects in the remote optical sensing of properties of 

 the ocean surface.
