      The optical chain and logger (OptiCAL) is an autonomous ice-tethered observatory equipped with multiple light sensors for mapping the variation of light with depth. We describe the instrument and present an ensemble calibration for downwelling irradiance E<sub>PAR</sub> in [µmolm<sup>−2</sup>s<sup>−1</sup>]. Results from a long-term deployment in the Arctic Ocean demonstrate that the OptiCAL can ...
