More journal articles about ocean lighting spectrum?

Just wondering if there is more scientific backed articles similar to this one about spectrum and intensity of the sun at depth?

I’ve not found good science articles that report measurements. One of the complications is light scattering and absorbance by particulates, which vary a lot from place to place.

I wanted to find, for example, how different light is at 1 and 5 and 10 ft is from the surface, but could not find it. It probably exists somewhere, but I didn’t find it.

Looking for the same thing but I have not come across anything. I feel like it should be straight forward to collect this data from multiple reefs around the world. I am surprised there has not been any NOAA funding for this.
