Abstract:
The optical transfer operator (OTO) of the atmosphere–ocean system (AOS) as a three-dimensional plane layer with the horizontally inhomogeneous reflecting and refracting interface between two media is formulated by the method of influence functions (IFs) and spatial-frequency characteristics (SFCs) using the perturbation theory series. The case is treated first when no splitting into spatial and angular variables is used for the refraction and reflection coefficients. Such an OTO has the most general form and is expressed in terms of the linear IF and SFC of the atmosphere and the ocean. The solution of the problem for the entire AOS is reduced to the solution of two problems for each medium.
