Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulation for the near-ocean-surface high-resolution downwelling irradiance statistics

We present a numerical study of the near-surface underwater solar light statistics using the state-of-the-art Monte Carlo radiative transfer (RT) simulations in the coupled atmosphere-ocean system. Advanced variance-reduction techniques and full program parallelization are utilized so that the model...
