A New Algorithm to Estimate Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient from Secchi Disk Depth

A New Algorithm to Estimate Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient from Secchi Disk Depth

The vertical diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd (PAR) is used for calculating the euphotic zone, the first optical depth that is important for primary productivity models. Currently, Kd PAR can be estimated using an irradiometer or a Secchi disk (SD). The main objective of this work is to define a m...
