Light in the Dark: Retrieving Underwater Irradiance in Shallow Eutrophic Waters From AC-S Measurements

Light is essential for primary production and, therefore, its attenuation controls the vertical distribution of plants and phytoplankton over the water column. The diffuse attenuation of irradiance (K) is mainly governed by the attenuation by the water itself and the concentrations of optically acti...
