Optically shallow waters (OSW) enable water depth retrieval through passive optical remote sensing, benefiting from the relatively low attenuation of the water column.

Satellite-Derived Bottom Depth for Optically Shallow Waters Based on Hydrolight Simulations
The bottom depth of coastal benthic habitats plays a vital role in the coastal ecological environment and navigation. In optically shallow waters (OSWs), seafloor reflectance has an impact on the remotely sensed data, and thus, water depth can be ...

Water depth (H), bottom reflectance (Rbλ), chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl) and seawater transparency (SDD) are key parameters in assessing shallow benthic habitats. However, due to limited in-situ data, restricted hyperspectral imagery or dynamic water

Bathymetry mapping is important for detecting underwater topography. For optically shallow waters, the use of satellite-based high-spatial-resolution imagery (Such as Gaofen-2, Ziyuan-3, Worldview-2) and historical medium-spatial-resolution imagery ...

With the exception of a few areas, Lake Michigan (LM) is an oligotrophic clear water body. It is predominantly in its littoral zone where ecology-relevant processes unfold due to a variety of natural and anthropogenic forcings arising from the watershed.

A NEW TECHNIQUE BASED ON MINI-UAS FOR ESTIMATING WATER AND BOTTOM RADIANCE CONTRIBUTIONS IN OPTICALLY SHALLOW WATERS [PDF]
The mapping of nearshore bathymetry based on spaceborne radiometers is commonly used for QC ocean colour products in littoral waters. However, the accuracy of these estimates is relatively poor with respect to those derived from Lidar systems due in part

The spectral upwelling radiance distribution in optically shallow waters [PDF]
The upwelling radiance distribution in optically shallow water is investigated with experiments and Hydrolight numerical simulations for two different benthic surfaces and a range of solar zenith angles (≪60°). Over a bright sand surface (water depth 5 m) the upwelling radiance distribution was brightest at nadir and decreased toward the horizon.

Developing Benthic Class Specific, Chlorophyll-a Retrieving Algorithms for Optically-Shallow Water Using SeaWiFS [PDF]
This study evaluated the ability to improve Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) chl-a retrieval from optically shallow coastal waters by applying algorithms specific to the pixels’ benthic class. The form of the Ocean Color (OC) algorithm was

This study presents a novel method to identify optically deep water using purely spectral approaches. Optically deep waters, where the seabed is too deep for a bottom reflectance signal to be returned, is uninformative for seabed mapping.
