Determine the absorption coefficient of visible light in the southern waters of the Caspian Sea

Visible light is a combination of different colors. Absorption and scattering of light in different environments are depending on the type of environment and the wavelength of incident light. The sea water is one of the areas that cause severe attenuation of visible light. In this study, a method for calculating the absorption of visible light in the southern waters of the Caspian Sea in Chalus and Kapurchal station is provided. A water sample from a depth of half a meter from each station sampled laboratory irradiated laser beams with different wavelengths and the light attenuation coefficient obtained by using the relevant tables, the light absorption coefficient is calculated in study stations. The two stations due to the low salinity of sea water is less dispersion. An also, because the surface layer of water sampling is done, the influence of visible light at different wavelengths is almost identical. Shorter wavelengths are more scattered and longer wavelengths are more absorbed.
