TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental method for determining water composition from satellite data, in visible and near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths, is applied to highly turbid waters, for suspended particulate matter (SPM) concentrations ranging between 35 and more than 2000 mg l � 1.

TL;DR: In this article, field and satellite measurements of surface water turbidity were combined in order to study the dynamics of the turbidity maximum zone (TM) in a macrotidal estuary (the Gironde, France).

TL;DR: In this paper, regional empirical algorithms based on in-situ data were tested to retrieve the concentration of total suspended matter and turbidity from the remote sensing reflectance, and the respective sensitivity of MODIS surface reflectance bands 1 and 2 for water quality application was investigated as well as the quality of atmospheric corrections.

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical relationship that may be used to estimate the suspended particulate matter concentrations in highly turbid waters from remote sensing reflectance measurements was presented and analyzed, and a strong correlation was obtained between the ratio of the near-infrared and visible (550 nm) reflectance and total suspended matter concentration (TSMc) measured in surface waters.

TL;DR: Performing correspondence functions were established that allow an accurate estimation of suspended sediments in the estuaries from Système Probatoire d'Observation de la Terre, Landsat, and Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor data, independently of the date of acquisition.
