The Institute of Oceanography is five years old and has two 



specia 1 1 ies : 



1. Turbulent diffusion of the sea 



2. Optics of the sea 



These are related because diffusion is studied by optics. 

 Observations are nade of attenuation, scattering, polarization and 

 fluorescence of the sea. Optics are used to characterize water 

 masses and study their spreading in the sea. The distribution of 

 scatterinn oarticles mav be related to primary oroduction. 

 Quantameter work.
