Abstract:
We describe here a three–channel spectrophotometer. It was designed to estimate the sea spectral radiance coefficient by simultaneously recording the intensity of radiation upwelling from the sea surface, the radiance of an adjacent sky area, and the sea surface illumination. Most typical measurement results obtained in different areas of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are presented. The accuracy of this technique for measuring the spectral radiance coefficient is studied. The greatest contribution to the error under conditions of our measurements is due to the lens effect. The total error in the spectral radiance coefficient measurements did not exceed 6–7%.
