What about the operational attenuation 2K in the simplified RTE? This all important question is discussed in detail by Maritorena et al, 1994, in their paper "Diffuse reflectance of oceanic shallow waters: influence of water depth and bottom albedo". I have come to suspect that shallow areas in a deglinted remote sensing image allow the practioner to derive a very good estimation of the value of spectral operational 2K in units of m-1 : Radiances in units of native image DNs may used: conversion into reflectances (0-1) is not a requirement when operating a "ratio m...

1 - ASSESSMENT of 4SM============= "What is your assessment of the current state of the art and your algorithms in particular?" (sept 9th 2011) For me, the "current state of the art" is After over 30 years of generous funding, the basics for a simplified radiative transfer equation have been very well documented (by Philpot then Maritorena), along with the risks one has to take/assume prior to "operating" this model. no one should indulge in ignoring the water volume reflectance, lest they'll have to pay the price in the form of badly unde...

Shallow water depth and bottom type from satellite image   Further to Lyzenga's and Stumpf's methods, most existing empirical methods still need the following and only deliver shallow water depths atmospheric correction conversion into units of reflectance an existing depth sounding dataset that covers faithfully the whole ranges of bottom brightnesses and shallow depths segmentation of shallow areas into several bottom brightness classes, irrespective of depth specify a, b and c for each class: Z= aX...
