Abstract
This article provides a review of ultraviolet radiation in the atmosphere-ocean system with emphasis on the basic interaction with molecules and suspended particles in both media as well as the reflection and refraction occurring at the air-water interface. A comparison between measured and computed irradiances in the ocean is provided to illustrate the utility of the modeling. The model is also used to discuss the impact of an ozone depletion at high latitudes on the primary production in the water column.
