Zusammenfassung:An extensive set of radiance calculations have been generated for each of twelve representative bottom types using an existing water radiance and atmospheric radiative transfer model. Total radiance values were calculated under two separate (Elterman) atmospheric states for a sensor platform altitude of 50 km. Calculations were also made for a sensor placed just below the sea surface. The model parameters were iterated over representative water depths and water types. A preliminary visual band optimization analysis was made over the input parameters. The suitability of Landsat-D Thematic mapper (TM) bands is also addressed.
