Abstract: he transmission coefficient, TL, commonly used to propagate the upwelling nadir radiance, just below the ocean surface, to above the surface has been assumed to be a constant value of 0.543 in seawater. Because the index ...

Abstract: he upwelling radiance attenuation coefficient (KLu) in the upper 10 m of the water column can be significantly influenced by inelastic scattering processes, and thus will vary even with homogeneous water properties. The ...

Abstract: Vicarious calibration of ocean color satellites involves the use of accurate surface measurements of water-leaving radiance to update and improve the system calibration of ocean color satellite sensors. An experiment was ...

Abstract: The Marine Optical System is a spectrograph-based sensor used on the Marine Optical Buoy for the vicarious calibration of ocean color satellite sensors. It is also deployed from ships in instruments used to develop bio-optical ...
