🌑 Ocean Depth Light Profile (2D) — Beer-Lambert Attenuation

Interactive 2D cross-section of light intensity versus ocean depth using the Beer-Lambert law. Adjust water clarity and surface sunlight, scroll to explore the water column, and watch the euphotic, twilight and aphotic zones darken with wavelength-dependent absorption.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 2D cross-section of an ocean water column, showing light intensity decaying exponentially with depth under the Beer-Lambert law. Adjust water clarity and surface sunlight brightness, then scroll or drag through the euphotic, twilight and aphotic zones as bioluminescent flickers appear in the dark.
