abstract = {Although a field as underwater optical communications can encompass different
technological fields, in this bachelor thesis we will focus on underwater wireless
communications, which, although underwater optical communications is dominated
using cable, we can find multiple advantages, such as high transmission speed and wide
transmission spectrum with minimal optical signal latency.
The main objective of this work is to develop a program to compute the attenuation of the
optical beam between two user-specified points.
For this purpose, a MATLAB program has been developed, in which, first, the seabed
profile is processed. Then, with the help of datasets, we will calculate the mean annual
temperature at the water surface, as well as the surface chlorophyll. Once we have these
values, we calculate the depth temperature profile and the depth profile of chlorophyll
concentration. Then, we will be able to calculate the specific attenuation at a point with a
given longitude, latitude, depth, and wavelength, and finally we will be able to compute
the optical beam attenuation between two user-specified points.},
