CONT

Pour caractériser la transparence de l'eau de mer, utilisez le coefficient d'atténuation verticale de la lumière avec la profondeur. Ce coefficient est similaire à l'atténuation des rayons lumineux, mais en diffère quelque peu puisqu'il prend en compte la diffusion multiple de la lumière qui se produit dans la colonne d'eau.
