LANDSAT MEASURES OF WATER CLARITY

Comparison of in situ transmittance and LANDSAT reflectance data reveal a negative straight-line relationship for the values encountered. Such a treatment and result differ from previous work in that in situ transmittance is an objective field measure of water clarity. This is significant since it supports and extends existant evidence that the changing character of water clarity can be effectively monitored using LANDSAT type data.
