Quantifying the biological impact of surface ocean light attenuation by colored detrital matter in an ESM using a new optical parameterization
Light attenuation by colored detrital material (CDM) was included in a fully coupled Earth system model (ESM). This study presents a modified parameterization for shortwave attenuation, which is an empirical relationship between 244 concurrent measurements of the diffuse attenuation coefficient for...
