N1 - Funding Information: This work is supported by the NSERC of Canada (strategic grant) and the HMDC (Hibernia Management and Development Corporation). Alex Hay generously gave us access to his turbulent jet tank and he and Wes Paul helped us use it. Scott Hatcher collected the carbonate sand from Barbados. John Cullen provided stimulating ideas. Robert Maffione and David Dana helped us to become familiar with the measurement of optical backscatter in general and with the interpretation of the output of the Hydroscat-6 in particular. The manuscript benefitted from the comments of Alex Hay and Erin Hildebrand.
