ABSTRACT:: During the past few years many methods
have been proposed for estimating surface radiative
fluxes (shortwave irradiance) at the ocean surface
from visible radiance observations and they have
been found to be quite successful under most
atmospheric and cloud conditions. For broken
clouds, however, the simple plane parallel
assumption for solving the radiative transfer
equations may need to be corrected to account
for cloud geometry. The estimation of PAR is
simpler because the most commonly used satellite
radiance measurements cover a similar region of
the solar spectrum.
