A model for the diffuse attenuation coefficient of downwelling irradiance (2005, methodology): “As in some earlier studies [Sathyendranath and Platt, 1988; Smith and Baker, 1981], the model expresses Kd(z) as a function of absorption and backscattering coefficients, but it refined the earlier simple approximations so that the model is now consistent with the theory of radiative transfer and im”
Optical oceanography: Recent advances and future directions using global remote sensing and in situ observations (2006, background): “The absorption coefficient of pure seawater is well characterized with greater absorption in the red than blue portions of the visible spectrum [e.g., Smith and Baker, 1981; Pope and Fry, 1997].”
Optical properties of human skin, subcutaneous and mucous tissues in the wavelength range from 400 to 2000 nm (2005, background): “Absorption of water in this spectral range is negligible [76].”
Penetration of UV-visible solar radiation in the global oceans: Insights from ocean color remote sensing (2013, background): “However, results from field measurements have indicated that the absorption coefficient in the UV domain could not be described accurately using Chl [Morel et al., 2007a; Vasilkov et al., 2002].”
Impact of elevated UVB radiation on marine biota: a meta‐analysis (2012, background): “Yet the impacts on marine biota were initially assumed to be limited because of the expected low penetration of damaging UVB radiation in the ocean (Smith & Baker, 1979; Morel et al., 2007).”
Cyanobacterial Responses to UV Radiation (2012, background): “UVR may penetrate to considerable depth in clear oceanic waters; in some cases UVB to over 30 m and UVA in excess of 60 m (Holm- Hansen et al. 1993 ; Jeffrey et al. 1996 ; Booth and Morrow 1997 ; Morel et al. 2007 ) .”
