Description

A general approach is presented to quantify retrieval errors in in-water constituent concentra tions induced by uncertainty in inherent optical property (IOP) submodel parameterization. Chlo rophyll concentrations are retrieved by inverting a radiance model with nonlinear IOP submodels. We demonstrate quantitatively how uncertainty in the IOP submodel parameterization influences the accuracy of the chlorophyll concentration retrieval at different chlorophyll concentration lev els. Two complete sets of simulations were designed and conducted, representing two extreme cases between which ”real” cases are expected to occur. The simulations show that precise knowl edge of spectral shapes of IOP submodels is important in chlorophyll retrieval.
