Ocean color measured from satellites provides daily global, synoptic views of spectral water-
leaving reflectances that can be used to generate estimates of marine inherent optical …

Aquatic color radiometry remote sensing of coastal and inland water bodies is of great
interest to a wide variety of research, management, and commercial entities as well as the …

Hyperspectral (HS) imaging provides rich spatial and spectral information and extends
image inspection beyond human perception. Existing approaches, however, suffer from …

Secchi disk depth (Z SD) is a measure of water transparency, whose interpretation has wide
applications from diver visibility to studies of climate change. This transparency has been …

A large data set containing coincident in situ chlorophyll and remote sensing reflectance
measurements was used to evaluate the accuracy, precision, and suitability of a wide variety …

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 …

Imaging spectrometry, or hyperspectral imaging as it is now called, has had a long history of
development and measured acceptance by the scientific community. The impetus for the …

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

Spatial and temporal variability in concentration and optical properties of colored dissolved
organic matter (CDOM) were examined in the Arabian Sea during the 1995 Southwest …

The most fundamental questions such as whether a cell is alive, in the sense of being able
to divide or to form a colony, may sometimes be very hard to answer, since even axenic …
