Dr. Minsu Kim has created an Ocean Optics Phytoplankton Simulator
(OOPS) that lets you build up IOPs for different types of
phytoplankton, including effects of particle size distributions, index
of refraction, and other parameters. There is an option for doing
HydroLight simulations with the IOPs you construct.

Minsu now has a website devoted to OOPS at www.kimsoops.net

I haven't yet played with the latest OOPS version myself, but I invite
you to take a look at the OOPS website and contact Minsu at
kimsoops@... if you would like to download his software package.

Cheers,

Curt Mobley
