Abstract—A method is proposed for constructing a regional algorithm to calculate the thickness of the euphotic zone from in situ measurements of the vertical profiles of the beam attenuation coefficient under the condition of one-parameter optical properties of water (Case-1 water). Using the proposed methodology, a regional algorithm for determining the thickness of the photic zone was developed based on the results of synchronous measurements of the beam attenuation coefficient and photosynthetically active radiation, performed in January 2022 as part of cruise 87 of the R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh for the northwestern Weddell Sea. For this region, an equation was obtained that can estimate the depth of the photic zone with a relative reconstruction error of 18%. © 2023, Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
