Remote-Sensing Retrieval of Oceanic Inherent Optical Properties by Inversion of the Radiative Transfer Equation

Abstract

The overall goal of this work was to develop and evaluate a new method of inverting remotely sensed ocean color data to recover the big three water inherent optical properties (IOPs), namely the phytoplankton absorption coefficient, the CDOM+detritus absorption coefficient, and the total constituent backscattering coefficient.
