OceanLight.jl Documentation

Overview

OceanLight.jl calculates the downwelling irradiance field in the upper ocean. By implementing the Monte Carlo method, this simulation achieves the path of Photons: starting from the refraction in the air-water interface, to some specific depth underneath the water body.

Quick Install

  1. Install Julia

  2. Launch Julia and type

using Pkg
Pkg.add("OceanLight")

After installing, verify that OceanLight works as intended by:

Pkg.test("OceanLight")
