TL;DR: This paper outlines an approach that was adopted for generating an ocean-colour time series for climate studies, using data from the MERIS (MEdium spectral Resolution Imaging Spectrometer) sensor of the European Space Agency; the SeaWiFS (Sea-viewing Wide-Field-of-view Sensor) and MODIS-Aqua (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer- aqua) sensors from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (USA); and VIIRS

TL;DR: In this article, a survey was conducted to understand why management decisions do not typically rely on satellite-derived water quality products, and results from an internal US Environmental Protection Agency qualitative survey were used to determine perceptions regarding the use of satellite remote sensing for monitoring water quality.

TL;DR: An approximate linear relationship between the scattering coefficient and the wavelength of light in the visible is found in case 1 and case 2 waters, and the slope of the spectral scattering relationship decreases progressively from high- Scattering, turbid waters dominated by suspended sediments to lower-scattering, clear waters dominatedby phytoplankton.

TL;DR: The results of a study of optical scattering and backscattering of particulates for three coastal sites that represent a wide range of optical properties that are found in U.S. near-shore waters can be well approximated by a power-law function of wavelength.

TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution aircraft remote sensing imagery and in situ optical data were coupled to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the inherent optical properties in the nearsurf zone off Fort Walton Beach, Florida in August 1994.
