Diffuse Attenuation Coefficient Over PAR (Kd_PAR)

Input

  1. Downwelling Irradiance over PAR derived from two OCR sensors, (Ed_PAR)

  2. Depths of each sensor (depth_bnds).

  3. Solar zenith angle (solar_senith_angle).

Ancillary Requirements

  1. Fresnel Reflection Albedo.

MATLAB m-file

Compute_Kd.m

Output

The diffuse attenuation coefficients over PAR reported in units of 1/m. In the NetCDF file, it is named Kd_PAR.
