Inherent and apparent optical measurements in the Hudson/Raritan Estuary

Inherent and apparent optical measurements in the Hudson/Raritan Estuary Duringan August, 1999 field campaign, measurements were made to establish hydrologicoptical properties of the Hudson/Raritan Estuary (New York-New Jersey): 1)concurrent above-and below-surface spectral irradiance; 2) sampling forlaboratory determination of inherent optical properties; and 3) concentrationsof optically-important water quality parameters. We used a bio optical modelbased on to predict thesubsurface irradiance reflectance from optically important water constituents.This model was then validated with the measured reflectance spectra from thefield spectroradiometers. Modeling of reflectance is a prerequisite forprocessing remote sensing data to desired thematic maps. These are key input tothe geographic information system (GIS) used to manage the water qualitycondition of the estuary. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquatic Ecology Springer Journals

Abstract

Duringan August, 1999 field campaign, measurements were made to establish hydrologicoptical properties of the Hudson/Raritan Estuary (New York-New Jersey): 1)concurrent above-and below-surface spectral irradiance; 2) sampling forlaboratory determination of inherent optical properties; and 3) concentrationsof optically-important water quality parameters. We used a bio optical modelbased on to predict thesubsurface irradiance reflectance from optically important water constituents.This model was then validated with the measured reflectance spectra from thefield spectroradiometers. Modeling of reflectance is a prerequisite forprocessing remote sensing data to desired thematic maps. These are key input tothe geographic information system (GIS) used to manage the water qualitycondition of the estuary.
