Coastal Remote Sensing Investigations. Volume 1. Marine Environment.

Abstract

Algorithms for the extraction of water attenuation and bottom reflectance parameters in shallow water from remote sensing data are described and evaluated. Assuming water parameters are uniform, relative water attenuation coefficients can be extracted from passive data and absolute attenuation coefficients can be obtained from active/passive scanner data. Bottom reflectance variations can be mapped using passive multispectral scanner data. Preliminary development of a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model has begun. A new approximate radiative transfer model has also been developed and the results are compared with exact calculations and with the results of the quasi-single-scattering (QSS) and double-delta (Turner) models.
