To satisfy the demands of high data rate underwater applications such as image and real-time video transmission, underwater visible light communication (UVLC) has emerged as an alternative to acoustic signaling. One of the major impairments in UVLC systems is turbulence-induced fading as a result of temporal variations in temperature and salinity. Furthermore, unlike the horizontal links modeled with fixed turbulence strength, vertical links experience varying turbulence strength based on the depth-dependent temperature and salinity profiles. In this paper, we consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) UVLC link over a vertical turbulence channel which is modeled as the concatenation of multiple non-mixing layers. Under the assumption of cascaded log-normal channel model, we derive the outage probability of vertical MIMO UVLC links and quantify the diversity gain in terms of the number of transmitter/receivers.
