The  paper  describes inherent optical properties  (IOP)  of  the  Berau  coastal  waters  derived from in  situ measurements  and Medium  Resolution  Imaging  Spectrometer  (MERIS) satellite  data. Field  measurements  of optical  water,  total  suspended  matter  (TSM), and  chlorophyll-a  (Chl-a) concentrations were carried out during the dry season of 2007. During this periode, only four MERISdata were  coincided with in  situ measurements on 31 August  2007. The MERIS  top-of-atmosphere radiances were atmospherically corrected using the MODTRAN radiative transfer model. The in situ optical  measurement  have  been  processed  into apparent optical properties  (AOP) and sub  surface irradiance. The remote sensing reflectance of in situ measurement as well as MERIS data were inverted into  the  IOP  using quasi-analytical algorithm  (QAA).  The  result  indicated  that coefficient  of determination (R 2) of backscattering coefficients of suspended particles (bbp) increased with increasing wavelength,  however  the  R2 of  absorption  spectra  of  phytoplankton  (aph)  decreased  with  increasing wavelength.

Abstract. During the Eagle 2006 campaign intensive in-situ and air/space borne measurements were carried out over the Wolderwijd and Veluwemeer natural waters in the Netherlands. In this paper, we modify the GSM semi-analytical inversion model for these lakes to derive inherent optical properties (IOPs) and their spectral dependencies from air and space borne data. Uncertainties of the derived IOPs are estimated using a nonlinear regression technique. The modified model succeeded in deriving accurate estimates of IOPs with R2 higher than 0.9 and RMSE values equal to 0.12 and 0.05 for absorption and scattering coefficients, respectively. Finally, we show that the uncertainty of derived absorption coefficients is slightly independent of absorption's magnitude. While the uncertainty of all derived IOPs increases with water turbidity.
