For open ocean and coastal waters, a multiband quasi-analytical algorithm is developed to
retrieve absorption and backscattering coefficients, as well as absorption coefficients of …

We provide a comprehensive overview of water constituent retrieval algorithms and
underlying definitions and models for optically deep and complex (ie case 2) waters using …

Mapping of total suspended matter concentration (TSM) can be achieved from space-based
optical sensors and has growing applications related to sediment transport. A TSM algorithm …

The most comprehensive and up-to-date optics resource available Prepared under the
auspices of the Optical Society of America, the five carefully architected and cross …

The remote-sensing reflectance R_rs is not directly measurable, and various methodologies
have been employed in its estimation. I review the radiative transfer foundations of several …

In earlier studies of passive remote sensing of shallow-water bathymetry, bottom depths
were usually derived by empirical regression. This approach provides rapid data …

The apparent optical properties (AOPs) of oceanic case 1 waters were previously analyzed
[Morel, 1988] and statistically related to the chlorophyll concentration ([Chl]) used as a global …

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

The validation of satellite ocean color data products is a critical component in establishing
their measurement uncertainties, assessing their scientific utility, and identifying conditions …

Semianalytical (SA) ocean color models have advantages over conventional band ratio
algorithms in that multiple ocean properties can be retrieved simultaneously from a single …
