Abstract:
The paper describes the results of measurements of spectral coefficients of light extinction in the surface layer of the River Ob water along the path from Tomsk to mouth of the River Irtysh. The values of decimal coefficients vary within the limits from 2.1 to 10.4 m-1and exhibit marked spectral variations. The dominating yellow color of the water downstream the mouth of River Chaya is due to the inflow of the so called yellow substance from the marshes of the Western-Siberian lowland and the enhanced content of iron in the mineral particles. The role of large and small hydrosols in forming the total extinction coefficient is estimated.
