Abstract

Determining the concentration of suspension in natural waters is one of the important problems of hydro-optics. The approximate method on the Mie theory using the parameters determined from measurements of the light attenuation coefficient in the investigated waters is discussed in the paper. The method was used to analyse spatial distribution of the volume concentration of suspension in the waters in the area of the Odra River mouth in Szczecin. The discussed method also gives correct results while considering waters of the Bay of Gdansk and southern Baltic Sea.
