AN ALGORITHM TO ESTIMATE CONCENTRATIONS OF SUSPENDED PARTICLES IN SEAWATER FROM SATELLITE OPTICAL IMAGES

Abstract: A new method to retrieve concentrations of suspended organic and inorganic particles in seawater from satellite images is proposed. The method uses as input images of scattering and backscattering coefficients in several satellite channels as well as an image of concentration of chlorophyll. All these three properties are derived using an atmospheric correction algorithm and algorithms to derive inherent optical properties from remote sensing reflectance. The proposed method is based on several approaches developed previously by Twardowski et al., van de Hulst, and Evans and Fournier and is based on Mie theory. The outputs to this method are images of concentrations of organic and terrigenic fractions of suspended matter in seawater.
