Abstract :
Send-analytical algorithms which are used for the retrieval of water quality parameters from optical measurements of the ocean surface layer are based on empirical bio-optical models. We investigate the sensitivity of a send-analytical algorithm to systematic errors in the bio-optical models and study the resulting errors in the retrieval of water quality parameters.
