Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
The numerical method by Smith et al (1984) is extended, and a real-time irradiation model is presented, which is able to calculate the solar radiation both on the sea surface and in the interior of seawaters. By calculating the irradiation on Bohai Sea surface from Sep 24, 1998 to Oct 7 and from April 28, 1999 to May 11 (the errors between calculated and measured irradiation energy are 0.27% and 6.67% for two time periods, respectively), the model shows a reasonable fitness to observations. In addition, the model also reveals that if other factors limiting algae growth are not considered, as the pigment concentration is small, the light invites algae growth in a quick manner; however, as the chlorophyll a increases to some extent, the light attenuation due to pigment reverberation or scatter enhances accordingly, so algae growth is evidently inhibited.
