Monitoring of Optical Properties of Water near the Baikal Neutrino Telescope with the Use of a Submerged Device ASP-15: Methods and Results

摘要

Some spectral and angular dependences of optical parameters measured at different depths are presented. The submerged device ASP15, designed for continuous monitoring of inherent optical properties of Baikal water in southern Lake Baikal near the Neutrino Telescope NT200+ at a depth of 1200 m, is described. Light field measurement and hydrooptical parameter recovery techniques are described.
