a(Ȝ) is calculated according to eq. (3), b b (Ȝ) using eq. (4). ș’ sun is the sun zenith angle in
water. The coefficient κ 0 depends on the scattering phase function. Gordon (1989)
determined a value of κ 0 = 1.0395 from Monte Carlo simulations in Case 1 waters,
Albert and Mobley (2003) found a value of κ 0 = 1.0546 from simulations in Case 2
waters using the radiative transfer program Hydrolight (Mobley et al., 1993). Some
authors use eq. (5) with κ 0 = 1 (Sathyendranath and Platt, 1988, 1997; Gordon et al.,
1975). In WASI, κ 0 is read from the WASI.INI file; the default value is 1.0546.
2.3.2 Diffuse attenuation for upwelling irradiance
For upwelling irradiance two attenuation coefficients are used: K uW for the
radiation backscattered in the water, and K uB for the radiation reflected from the
bottom. The following parameterization is adopted from Albert and Mobley (2003):
