The results of measurements of the () beam attenuation coefficient (BAC) spectral distribution in the surface waters of the North Atlantic tropical region (NATR) are represented.The data were obtained in the 27 th cruise of R/V Akademik Vernadsky (January -April, 1984).According to the data of the beam attenuation coefficient spectra measurements in the surface waters of the tropical Atlantic northern part, the characteristics of the spectra (440 -675 nm range) were obtained.Also, the change o
