The first term of the formula (6) describes the reflec-
ted sky radiance, the second the sun glitter.
Evidently the data on B. as a function of ao and -3
for various Sun's" "locations is needed: Practically, in most cases,
we have the experimental results of total solar and Sky irradiance,
but not the angular distribution of Bes (ot, 3) . Por the first
approximation we took the sky radiance as subjected to the follo-
wing assumptions: l)the maximum value of Bs corresponds to the
direction of the visible Sun's disc: 2) the Sky radiance decreases
continuously with the direction (e¢, 9 ) moving away from the
sun's direction. Under these restrictions the angular distribution
of 945: CC 9^ can be described mathematically by an ellipsoid
assuming the longer axis of symmetry directed straight to the
Sun's disc. For our model such a function Bot, Ru )was determined
for absolutely clear (for various sun's heights) and completely
cloudy sky. It must be pointed out that one way to improve our
mathematical model is to obtain more perfect description of

Cases of pure water and a thin oil "film on the .sea sur-
face are computed by the formulae presented by Arst, Kard (1981)

For determining the function =P (en. SA ),the results
of the investigation by Cuinn et al. (1979) are very convenient:
on the basis of the data of Cox and Munk (1954) they have presen-
ted the formulae for calculations of P Coi Sa) as well as the
necessary expressions for computational parameters (both for pure
water and oil slick). The expressions are developed in the form
that depends only on the velocity and direction of the wind.
Those characteristics are easily available. We have used these
formulae for computing the values of Pest. rad ) "and

The given model is realized as a program for a computer.
The initial "data is: 1) wavelength of. incident radiation;
2)solar zenith angle and azimuth; 3) zenith angle of observation
(the azimuth of observation is considered to be zero); 4)thick-
ness of oil film; 5) optical constants of water and oil; 6) wind
velocity and direction; 7) downwelling total and direct solar
irradiance measured on the sea surface. (It is possible to refine
the results, having some measured values of sky brightness as
initial data that help to determine the function Bs iw OS for the
case under consideration). The results of the program's single run
are the values of the upwelling reflected radiance,separately for
the reflected sky radiation and sun glitter (both for the calm
and ruffled ‘sea with" "and "without "oil fiim covering).
The model may become of practical use for the ana-
lysis of measuring results of upward radiation above the sea.
One of the possible applications can be the estimation of re-
lative contribution of the sun glitter to the results of the
