A method of remote determination of the suspended matter concentra-tion in seawater on the effective wavelength of upwelling radiation

摘要

This paper proposes a method of remote determination of the suspended matter concentration in seawater on the effective wavelength of upwelling radiation. The systemof orthogonal functions is found, allowing to retrieve reflectance of the sea using two measurements in the green part of the visible spectrum. Empirical relations linking the effective wavelength with the concentration of suspended matter for the Black Sea waters are presented and analyzed.
