The empirical approach of remote sensing has a proven capability to provide timely and
accurate information on inland and near-coastal transitional waters. This article gives a …

Small mineral particles suspended in the sea are excellent at reflecting light and show up
well in visible band satellite images. In order to make quantitative estimates of the particle …

Ocean color remote sensing has been shown to be a useful tool to map turbidity (T) and
suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentration in turbid coastal waters. Different …

We measured the absorption properties of phytoplankton, nonalgal particles (NAP), and
colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) at about 350 stations in various coastal waters …

Accurate assessment of phytoplankton chlorophyll-a (chla) concentrations in turbid waters
by means of remote sensing is challenging due to the optical complexity of case 2 waters …

Variations in the spectral scattering coefficient of marine particles [bp (λ)] were measured at
241 locations in oceanic (case 1) and coastal (case 2) waters around Europe. The scattering …

Theory and seaborne measurements are presented for the near infrared (NIR: 700‐900 nm)
water‐leaving reflectance in turbid waters. According to theory, the shape of the NIR …

The analytical development and underlying hypothesis of a three-band algorithm for
estimating chlorophyll-a concentration ([Chla]) in turbid productive waters are presented …

Eutrophication and cyanobacterial algal blooms present an increasing threat to the health of
freshwater ecosystems and to humans who use these resources for drinking and recreation …

In this study we tested the applicability of a method, originally developed for terrestrial plant
leaves, to retrieve chlorophyll‐a concentrations from reflectance spectra of turbid productive …
