| Sumario: | The semi-empirical algorithm of [1] for the estimation of turbidity (T) from marine reflectance (?w) is calibrated and validated using a large dataset of in situ measurements collected in various waters, for use with any ocean colour hyperspectral sensor, and with Sentinel-2, Landsat 8 and Pléiades spectral bands. The relationship between particulate backscattering coefficient (bbp) and side-scattering (T) is investigated through simulation of Fournier-Forand phase functions, assuming variable particles size and composition, and through T and bbp in situ measurements in clear to extremely turbid waters.
