all bands in the green-red bands
are aggregated to create
a synthetic PAN channel
which is placed in band 25


For the Blue vs PAN linearized plot,
i.e. X4 vs X25,
isobaths are drawn at a 1 m step

Modeling shall use the PAN solution (grey)
assisted by the Green solution
see image WZ

Observed Kblue/Kgreen=0.500
This yields an interpolated water type
O1B + 0.080
for this image,
by use of Jerlov's classification
of optical marine water types
,
with Kblue=0.073 m-1 for band 4
and
Kgreen=0.145 m-1 for band 11
All other Kx values
are computed by application
of the ratios Kblue/Kand Kgreen/Kx
observed in the image.



Z in cm
Retrieved depths probably underestimated
where bottom brightness is very dark

image B
Very dark bottoms are most dubious
Possibly caused by cyanobacterial plancton

are aggregated to create
a synthetic PAN channel
which is placed in band 25


For the Blue vs PAN linearized plot,
i.e. X4 vs X25,
isobaths are drawn at a 1 m step

Modeling shall use the PAN solution
in the 0-29 depth range

Observed Kblue/Kgreen=0.590
This yields an interpolated water type
O1B + 0.49
for this image,
by use of Jerlov's classification
of optical marine water types
,
with Kblue=0.093 m-1 for band 4
and
Kgreen=0.157 m-1 for band 11
All other Kx values
are computed by application
of the ratios Kblue/Kand Kgreen/Kx
observed in the image:
Kx=(Kblue/Kx)/(Kgreen/Kx)
