Exploring Techniques for Improving Retrievals of Bio-optical Properties of Coastal Waters

Abstract

Development of algorithms for improved retrievals of inherent water optical properties (IOP) from satellite imagery of coastal waters with current and future sensors utilizing: 1) NIR and UV channels, 2) water polarization characteristics and 3) advanced atmospheric correction schemes. Analysis of methodologies for the enhancement of algorithms for IOP retrieval from reflectance spectra based on additional measurements in NIR and UV through: a) the use of reflectance characteristics obtained from NIR measurements as additional constraints in basic inversion models, b) expansion of modeled and measured reflectance spectra and bio-optical models of coastal waters into the UV zone for the improved separation of CDOM and phytoplankton components.
