The intensity and polarization characteristics of light scattered by bubbly media is studied, assuming that the size of bubbles is much larger than the wavelength of the incident light, which is a valid assumption, e.g., for bubbles in water and sea ice. The influence of possible nonsphericity of bubbles, light absorption and multiple light scattering effects is neglected. The dependence of the phase matrix on the relative refractive index of bubbles n is studied in the range n = 0.3–0.9. Results presented can be used for the development of analytical models of polarized light propagation in bubbly media, which take into account special features of bubble light scattering.
