Table 2.

Typical values of $a\left(\lambda \right)$, $b\left(\lambda \right)$ and $c\left(\lambda \right)$ for different water Type; work out with $\lambda =532\mathrm{nm}$. Pure sea waters: absorption is the main limiting factor. Clear ocean waters: they have a higher concentration of dissolved particles that affect scattering. Coastal ocean waters: they have a much higher concentration of planktonic matters, detritus, and mineral components that affect absorption and scattering. Turbid harbor waters: they have a very high concentration of dissolved and in-suspension matters.
