Remote-sensing reflectance and inherent optical properties of oceanic properties of oceanic
waters are important parameters for ocean optics. Due to surface reflectance, R rs or water …

Remote-sensing reflectance (R_rs), which is defined as the ratio of water-leaving radiance
(L_w) to downwelling irradiance just above the surface (E_d (0^+)), varies with both water …

We present an inverse model (referred to as LS2) for estimating the inherent optical
properties (IOPs) of seawater, specifically the spectral absorption, a (λ), and backscattering …

A multi-spectral classification and quantification technique is developed for estimating
chlorophyll a concentrations, Chl, in shallow oceanic waters where light reflected by the …

In order to evaluate near-surface water quality parameters from spectral irradiance
reflectance observed just below the surface, models of both radiative transfer and optical …

A new semianalytical algorithm was formulated to retrieve chlorophyll‐a (CHL) in optically
complex waters using in situ data set of coastal waters of eastern Arabian Sea. The …

We evaluated the performance of the Quasi-Analytical Algorithm (QAA, v5 with
modifications) for deriving the spectral total absorption, a (λ), and backscattering, bb (λ) …

The radiance transmittance (Tr) is the ratio of the water-leaving radiance (Lw (0^+)) to the
sub-surface upwelling radiance (Lu (0^-)), which is an important optical parameter for ocean …

Above-water measurements of water-leaving radiance are widely used for water-quality
monitoring and ocean-color satellite data validation. Reflected skylight in above-water …

A method is evaluated for estimating the absorption coefficient a and the backscattering
coefficient bb from measurements of the upward and downward irradiances Eu (z) and Ed …
