Comparison of our results (solid lines) to the results of Stam (2008) (dashed lines) for the computed total flux , polarized flux
, and degree of polarization Ps of light that is reflected by cloud-free ocean planets at → = 90°, 120°, and 150°. Our ocean planet has a natural blue color and a glint (for v = 1 m s→1). The ocean model of Stam (2008) is black and flat, and while its interface is a Fresnel-reflector, the lack of waves results in an infinitely narrow glint.
