Satellite retrieval of bottom reflectance from high-spatial-resolution multispectral imagery in shallow coral reef waters by Benqing Chen, Yanming Yang, Mingsen Lin, Bin Zou, Shuhan Chen, Erhui Huang, Wenfeng Xu, Yongqiang Tian

“…By visually comparing to the subsurface reflectance images and validating with the field-measured reflectance data, we demonstrated that the satellite derived bottom reflectance in the blue and green bands was accurate in both magnitude and shape by the proposed method. Finally, the impacts of the spatial inhomogeneity of the water properties, purity of sampling pixels for estimating the band ratio of the total diffused attenuation coefficients, and errors in the radiometric correction on the bottom reflectance retrieval were discussed and analyzed.…”
