Abstract

Laboratory measurements of light beam depolarization by a turbulent flow, corresponding to oceanic turbulence within the oceanic mixed layer, show that the depolarization rate (1 × 10^-5 m^-1 to 3 × 10^-3 m^-1) correlates with turbulence strength and is consistent with polarized lidar observations [Opt. Express, 16, 1196 (2008)]. These results imply that one should be able to characterize oceanic turbulence with polarimetric oceanic lidar measurements.
