Intensive shipping affects marine environment in an extent degree, increasing seawater pollution by hazardous substances, including fuel oil and crude oil. Bilge water from ship power plants usually contains a mixture of dispersed oils, which form spherical droplets of diameter ranging from 0.01 to 10..m. Present methods for detection of dispersed oil require taking a water sample or putting a measuring device into seawater, which allows only to gather point data from limited locations. In order to meet the demand of remote monitoring of endangered zones, a study of optical properties of oil-in-water emulsions was conducted. Presented model of seawater polluted by oil-in-water emulsion can potentially enable remote optical detection of oil-in-water emulsion in visible bands. It is based on the fact that oil droplets become additional absorbents and attenuators in water body. Optical analyses consist of calculations of spectral absorption and scattering coefficients and scattering phase functions for oil emulsions on the basis of Lorentz-Mie theory including measurements of refractive index and determination of oil droplets size distribution. The radiative transfer theory is applied to simulate the contribution of oil emulsion to the remote sensing reflectance. Presented system for radiative transfer simulation is based on Monte Carlo code and it involves optical tracing of virtual photons.
