Abstract

Water plays an important role in ecological city. This paper documents the controlling effects of light field geometry and internal radiant emission on the apparent optical properties of water used to study underwater ecological distribution. Vertical attenuation coefficient and average cosine can be used to study the Light energy utilization and growth of aquatic plants, affecting the entire underwater ecosystem. Optical research of water may be helpful to sustainable water infrastructure and management.
