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 …

To address these issues with respect to the multifarious conditions existing in the different
basins of the World Ocean is a highly complicated matter and exceeds the scope of the …

This study investigates the use of single-band reflectance at visible wavelengths for the
derivation of suspended sediment concentrations in the Irish Sea. A reasonably strong …

Six years (1998–2003) of SeaWiFS multispectral satellite data are used to document the
seasonal and interannual variability of the Columbia River plume on the North American …

We used an extensive set of bio-optical data to examine the relationships between inherent
optical properties and remotely sensed quantities in an optically complex and biologically …

The impact of anthropogenic activities on coastal waters is a cause of concern because such
activities add to the total suspended sediment (TSS) budget of the coastal waters, which …

Uncertainties in the estimates of water constituents are among the main issues concerning
the orbital remote sensing of inland waters. Those uncertainties result from sensor design …

This paper explores the use of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)
wavebands in the red/near-infra-red for estimating concentrations of suspended particulate …

From a data set of observations of Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) concentration,
Turbidity in Formazin Turbidity Unit (FTU) and fluorescence-derived chlorophyll-a at a …

A new algorithm for estimating particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) concentrations from ocean
color measurements is presented. PIC plays an important role in the global carbon cycle …
