New Kind of Measures of Sea Transparency
The London Glove reports Austrian officer Herr Luksch on the frigate Pola testing sea water transparency in the Levant, Aegean, and Red Sea by submerging a white disc until it vanishes. Transparency varies with temperature, salinity, wind, and sun angle, ranging from 88 meters in the central Mediterranean to 2 meters in the Red Sea, with a maximum visibility depth of 48 meters. It suggests submarine hull color might be chosen to blend with sea water and notes the need for further experiments.
