TL;DR: 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 general public as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive set of field measurements have been collected throughout the continental margin of the northeastern U.S. from 2004 to 2011 to develop and validate ocean color satellite algorithms for the retrieval of the absorption coefficient of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (aCDOM) and CDOM spectral slopes for the 275:295-nm and 300:600-nm spectral range (S275:295 and S300:600).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply analytical approaches for determining optimal spatial resolution, dominant spatial scales of variability ("patches"), and proportions of patch variability that can be resolved from four river plumes around the world between 2008 and 2011.

TL;DR: In this article, optical data collected over several years are used to select and optimize a semi-analytical ocean color algorithm for the dynamic and optically complex Long Island Sound estuary, and the most successful algorithm requires a red reflectance channel between 600 and 650 nm, which is not included in many current ocean color sensors, but is essential in highly scattering waters.

TL;DR: In this article, the optical properties sampled at 158 stations throughout the Long Island Sound (LIS) estuary between 2004 and 2007 showed significant regional variability in optical properties, including chlorophyll, total suspended matter, light absorption, and scattering.
