Five specific and successful modifications of polyethylene‐shielded net radiometers to measure solar radiation underwater were developed and tested for use in determining both downwelling and upwelling radiation. A field trial of the instruments indicated that they yielded a logarithmic extinction relation in very turbid water with the upwelling radiation being equal to about 2.2% of the downwelling radiation at any level.
