We found that the Hu et al. model for light scattering by pure seawater [Deep Sea Research Part I, 146, 103–109 (2019)] can be applied to waters with sub-zero temperature, which was outside the applicable range of the original equation for the refractive index of water that is used in the model. The surface waters with temperature < −1 °C in the Arctic Ocean and surrounding the Antarctic exhibit the largest molecular scattering that is approximately 7% greater than the tropic waters, and this difference is mainly due to the temperature contrast between the two areas. The Hu et al. model can be applied with an overall uncertainty of 2% from 350 to 1100 nm to nearly all natural oceanic water bodies, with temperature from −6 to 30 °C, salinity from 0 to 120 g kg⁻¹, depth from surface to approximately 10,000 m.

我们发现胡等。模型用于通过纯海水[深海研究第I部分，光散射146，103-109（2019）]可以应用到水域零度的温度，这是原始等式的适用范围之外的水的折射率在模型中使用。在北冰洋和南极周围，温度<-1°C的地表水最大的分子散射比热带水大大约7％，这种差异主要是由于两个区域之间的温度差异。胡等。可以将模型应用于350至1100 nm的总不确定度为2％的几乎所有天然海洋水体，温度范围为-6至30°C，盐度为0至120 g kg ^-1从表面到大约10,000 m的深度。
