A new UV submersible spectroradiometer has been employed to determine the diffuse
attenuation coefficient for irradiance in the clearest natural waters [Kw (λ)] with emphasis on …

Optical measurements within both the visible and near ultraviolet (UV) parts of the spectrum
(305–750 nm) were recently made in hyperoligotrophic waters in the South Pacific gyre …

A study of the spectral nature of the diffuse attenuation coefficient of light, K (X), for various
types of oceanic waters has been performed. These attenuation spectra were computed …

Data for the spectral light absorption of pure water from 250 to 550 nm have been obtained
using an integrating cavity made from a newly developed diffuse reflector with a very high …

The optical properties of pure water are basic input data for many geophysical investigations
such as remote sensing of surface water and underwater radiative transfer calculations …

The spectral pattern of light attenuation in the ultraviolet (UV) and blue region (360–500 nm)
was analyzed for seven high Arctic lakes. The best description of Kd versus wavelength was …

By means of radiative transfer simulations we developed a model for estimating the
absorption a, the scattering b, and the backscattering b_b coefficients in the upper ocean …

The diffuse attenuation coefficient K_d (λ) was first expressed in terms of the inherent optical
properties (IOPs) of water according to well-established empirical bio-optical models …

Penetration of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) into natural waters depends on the concentration
and optical qualities of dissolved organic matter (DOM), phytoplankton, other suspended …

Certain relationships between irradiance reflectance (R), average cosine (μ) and the ratio of
the scattering and absorption coefficients (b/a), previously derived by Monte Carlo …
