| Abstract: | A submerged linear array of photodetectors was used to measure sunlight irradiance fluctuations caused by ocean surface waves. Decorrelation times and lengths were found to be functions of depth. It was also found that the sensor depth selects a dominant temporal frequency from the random surface waves. |
