The aquatic coastal zone is one of the most challenging targets for
environmental remote sensing. Properties such as bottom
reflectance, spectrally diverse suspended sediments and
phytoplankton communities, diverse benthic communities, and
transient events that affect surface reflectance (coastal blooms,
runoff, etc.) all combine to produce an optical complexity not seen
in terrestrial or open ocean systems. Despite this complexity,
remote sensing is proving to be an invaluable tool for "Case 2"
waters. This book presents recent advances in coastal remote
sensing with an emphasis on applied science and management. Case
studies of the operational use of remote sensing in ecosystem
studies, monitoring, and interfacing remote
sensing/science/management are presented. Spectral signatures of
phytoplankton and suspended sediments are discussed in detail with
accompanying discussion of why blue water (Case 1) algorithms
cannot be applied to Case 2 waters. Audience This book is targeted
for scientists and managers interested in using remote sensing in
the study or management of aquatic coastal environments. With only
limited discussion of optics and theory presented in the book, such
researchers might benefit from the detailed presentations of
aquatic spectral signatures, and to operational management issues.
While not specifically written for remote sensing scientists, it
will prove to be a useful reference for this community for the
current status of aquatic coastal remote sensing.
