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 …

An experimental method for determining water composition from “ocean colour” satellite
data, in visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, is applied to highly turbid waters …

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 …

Patterns of surface sediment concentration distribution in rivers are significant for
understanding fluvial morphodynamics and environmental characteristics of the rivers and …

河流悬浮泥沙动态监测对河道变迁, 水利工程安全运行, 生态和环境保护等都具有重要的应用
价值, 利用遥感技术可对大区域河流水体悬浮泥沙进行实时监测. 与海洋和湖泊等大面积水体相 …

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 …

The optical properties of mineral particles suspended in seawater were calculated from the
Mie scattering theory for different size distributions and complex refractive indices of the …

The Madeira River may contribute nearly half of the Amazon River sediment discharge to the
Atlantic Ocean, showing the highest erosion rates in the Amazon Basin. However, few …

Traditional measurements of suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) through in-situ
sampling in rivers are expensive and time-consuming to perform. Thus, these methods …

The text covers the problems concerning optical properties and remote sensing of turbid and
surface-polluted oceans and lakes. In four chapters Helgi Arst compares remote sensing …
