Abstract

The mainstreams of lake optics research in recent decades include optical properties of lakewater, observation, transmission and calculation of underwater radiation, determination of absorption coefficientS of yellow substance, influence of UV-B radiation of lake primary productivity by bio-optical model. Major lake optics applications, such as calculation of lake primary productivity and chl-a, analysis of factors restricting eutrophication, and protection against lake eutrophication are summarized.
