Glossary: AOP (Apparent Optical Property)
| A ratio of radiometric quantities that depends both on the IOP's and on the directional nature of the ambient light field and which is spatially and temporally stable enough to describe a water body; examples include the average cosine of the light field, the irradiance reflectance, the remote sensing reflectance, and the diffuse attenuation coefficients. |
