| Abstract: | The space and angle distributions of the radiation intensity in an absorbing anisotropically scattering medium are examined for slant illumination of the boundary by a limited beam. An analytic solution of the transport equation in a small-angle approximation is compared with Monte Carlo modeling of light propagation in sea water. The existence of a depth region in which the variances of the space and angle intensity distributions rise anomalously rapidly due to the presence of absorption and the asymmetry of the problem is pointed out.Nizhny Novgorod State University.
