Simulation of underwater light is essential for modeling marine ecosystems. A new model of underwater light attenuation is presented and compared with previous models. In situ data collected in Monterey Bay, CA. during September 2006 are used for validation. It is demonstrated that while the new light model is computationally simple and efficient it maintains accuracy and flexibility. When this light model is incorporated into an ecosystem model, the correlation between modeled and observed coastal chlorophyll is improved over an eight-year time period. While the simulation of a deep chlorophyll maximum demonstrates the effect of the new model at depth.
水下光模拟对于海洋生态系统建模至关重要。本文提出了一种新的水下光衰减模型，并与先前的模型进行了比较。使用2006年9月在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷湾收集的现场数据进行验证。结果表明，新的光模型虽然计算简单且高效，但仍保持了准确性和灵活性。当将此光模型纳入生态系统模型时，在八年的时间里，建模的沿海叶绿素与观测值之间的相关性得到了改善。同时，对深层叶绿素最大值的模拟展示了新模型在深度方面的效果。
