Abstract

The universal bio-optical algorithm of the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) for case I waters implicitly contains an average covariance of the absorption by phytoplankton and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and detritus. We made that covariance explicit by combining the CZCS algorithm with an expression for reflectance. The spectral variation of absorption by CDOM plus detritus for case I waters may be estimated by the expression a gd (λ) = 2a ph(443) *chl{exp[−0.013(λ − 443)]}.
