A 5¿¿52¿ climatological field of the extinction coefficient of solar irradiance versus depth is obtained for the world ocean. A simple method of merging various data (prior to 1974) concerning the water transparency has been used. The final product is obtained through a careful subjective analysis. It should be useful for the purpose of climatological modeling.
