Summary Optical communication and electro-optical identification (EOID) depend on underwater light propagation. Scattering by seawater causes light attenuation. The ocean optical properties are highly variable on small spatial (meters) and temporal (hours) scales, especially in littoral areas. The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO) has conducted long term in-situ measurements from ships and autonomous measurements from gliders of optical and hydrographic properties. We will analyze/assimilate the NAVO optical dataset with the Navy‘s Electro-Optic DEtection and Simulation model (EODES) to investigate the ocean environmental effect on underwater optical communication and detection.
