A New Method of Profiling Remote-Sensing Reflectance of Coastal Waters

The profiling method is the first method to select in measuring the remotesensing reflectance. In the light of the characteristics of China's coastal waters, we develop a new method to compensate the environment's effects with the downwelling irradiance's profile and to estimate the underwater remote-sensing reflectance rrs(λ). The result indicates that the relative deviation of repetitious rrs(λ) in one station is around 10%.
