Evaluating Solar Radiation Attenuation Schemes in ROMS: Improving Upper Ocean Thermal Simulation by Incorporating Vertically Resolved Optical Profiles From BGC‐Argo Data
Accurate simulation of solar radiation attenuation is critical for modeling the upper ocean's thermal and dynamical state. Traditional schemes, such as PS77 and M02, rely on surface‐only chlorophyll‐based proxies and assume vertical homogeneity, often failing to capture subsurface optical structures. This study evalu...
