Usable solar radiation and its attenuation in the upper water column
A new radiometric term named as usable solar radiation (USR) is defined to represent the spectrally integrated solar irradiance in the spectral window of 400–560 nm. Through numerical simulations of optically deep waters covering a wide range of optical properties, it is found that the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling USR, Kd(USR), is nearly a constant vertically for almost all oc...
متن کاملDiffuse Attenuation Coefficient of Downwelling Irradiance: An Evaluation of Remote Sensing Methods
The propagation of downwelling irradiance at wavelength from surface to a depth (z) in the ocean is governed by the diffuse attenuation coefficient, ) ( d K . There are two standard methods for the derivation of ) ( d K in remote sensing, which both are based on empirical relationships involving the blue-to-green ratio of ocean color. Recently, a semianalytical method to derive ) ( d K from ref...
متن کاملRelationships between spectral optical properties and optically active substances in a clear oligotrophic lake
[1] The absorption and scattering coefficients in the euphotic zone of oligotrophic Lake Taupo, New Zealand, were measured at 19 stations across the 620 km lake in late fall during the period of mixed layer deepening and development of the annual phytoplankton maximum. These coefficients were subsequently related to the water content of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), phytoplankton, an...
متن کاملAOPs Are Not Additive: On the Biogeo-Optical Modeling of the Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient
Commonly we see the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance (Kd) expressed as a sum of the contributions of various constituents. We show here that, both theoretically and numerically, because Kd is an apparent optical property (AOP), this approach is not consistent with radiative transfer. We further advocate the application of models of Kd developed in past decades that are ...
متن کاملEvaluation of downwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient algorithms in the Red Sea
Despite the importance of the optical properties such as the downwelling diffuse attenuation coefficient for characterizing the upper water column, until recently no in situ optical measurements were published for the Red Sea. Kirby et al. used observations from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the diffuse attenuation coefficient (Kd(490)) i...
