Abstract The 2017–2027 National Academies' Decadal Survey, Thriving on Our Changing
Planet, recommended Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) as a “Designated Targeted …

Ocean color measured from satellites provides daily global, synoptic views of spectral water-
leaving reflectances that can be used to generate estimates of marine inherent optical …

Aquatic color radiometry remote sensing of coastal and inland water bodies is of great
interest to a wide variety of research, management, and commercial entities as well as the …

Dissolved organic carbon, DOC, and the colored component of dissolved organic matter,
CDOM, are key indicators of coastal water quality and biogeochemical state. Yet …

Quantitative estimation is a key and challenging issue in water quality monitoring. Remote
sensing technology has increasingly demonstrated its potential to address these challenges …

Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) can significantly influence underwater light
fields, nutrient availability, and microbial activity; thus, it plays an essential role in physical …

Inherent optical properties (IOPs) play an important role in underwater light field, and are
difficult to estimate accurately using satellite data in optically complex waters. To study water …

An extensive set of field measurements have been collected throughout the continental
margin of the northeastern US from 2004 to 2011 to develop and validate ocean color …

Increasing our knowledge on dissolved organic carbon (DOC) spatio-temporal distribution in
the coastal ocean represents a crucial challenge for better understanding the role of these …

Featured Application Methods and algorithms developed in this manuscript may be applied
to ocean color satellite or aircraft imagery for the remote sensing of oceanic CDOM spectral …
