Penetration of visible solar radiation (VSR) drives heating and phytoplankton photosynthesis in the upper water column; thus, it is always important to accurately describe the vertical distribution of VSR in the oceans. Before the invention and application of modern optical ‐ electronic instruments to measure the vertical pro fi les of VSR, the transmittance of VSR from surface to deeper ocean ( T VSR ) was commonly estimated based on water types and subsequently incorporated in dynamic ocean circulation models. However, the measurement of Secchi disk depth ( Z SD ) has been carried out since the 1860s and there are about a million of Z SD data available for the global oceans. Because Z SD represents a measure of water's transparency, here we present a scheme based on radiative transfer to accurately estimate T VSR with Z SD as the sole input. It is found that the median ratios between modeled and measured T VSR are ~0.8 – 1.0 for T VSR in a range of 1 – 100% for measurements made in coastal waters and oceanic gyres. However, this median ratio spans ~0.04 – 1.0 for the same measurements when the classical water ‐ type ‐ based model was applied. These results suggest a great advantage, and potentially signi fi cant impact, in incorporating the volumetric Z SD data to model the dynamic ocean – atmosphere systems in the past 100+ years. Plain Language Summary Based radiative transfer and using numerically simulated the transmittance ( T VSR ) of visible solar radiation (VSR) is modeled as a function of Secchi disk depth ( Z SD ). This scheme further evaluated using data from numerical simulations and from fi eld
