These algorithms are based on the direct relationships between POC and the blue-to-green band ratios of spectral remotely sensed reflectance, Rrs(λB)/Rrs(555). The best error statistics among the considered formulas were produced using the power function POC (rag/ m3)=262.173 [Rrs(443)/Rrs(555)]^-0.940. This formula resulted in a small mean bias of approximately -2.52%, a normalized root mean square error of 31.1%, and a determination coefficient of 0.91. This regional empirical equation is different to the results of similar studies in other oceanic regions. Our validation results suggest that our regional empirical formula performs better than the global algorithm, in the South China Sea. The feasibility of this band ratio algorithm is primarily due to the relationship between POC and the green-to- blue ratio of the particle absorption coefficient. Colored dissolved organic matter can be an important source of noise in the band ratio formula. Finally, we applied the empirical algorithm to investigate POC changes in the southwest of Luzon Strait.展开更多

The algorithms are based on the in situ data collected inthe spring of 2003 with strict quality assurance according to NASA ocean bio-optic protocols. These algorithms arethe first ones with quantitative confidence that can be applied for the area. The average relative error of the inversedand in situ measured components' concentrations are: Chl-a about 37%, total suspended matter (TSM) about 25%,respectively. This preliminary result is quite satisfactory for CaseII waters, although some aspects in the modelneed further study. The sensitivity of the input error of 5% to remote sensing reflectance (Rrs) is also analyzed andit shows the algorithms are quite stable. The algorithms show a large difference with Tassans local SeaWiFSalgorithms for different waters, except for the Chl-a algorithm.展开更多
