An approach is proposed that makes it possible to simulate the polarized solar radiative transfer above the ocean taking into account the primary production indicators of its surface layer and wind-driven waves using the Monte Carlo method. The dependence of the ocean albedo calculated in accordance with this approach on the illumination conditions, wind-driven sea surface waves, and primary production characteristics is studied. The key features of the angular distribution of radiance at the top of the atmosphere under different conditions of the numerical experiment are discussed. The errors in calculating the Stokes vector and the degree of polarization induced by the neglect of light interaction with the near-surface water layer have been estimated by solving the vector radiative transfer equation.
