Computation of coastal sea water absorption coefficients and retrieval of water quality parameters from EO1 Hyperion data

This work aims to extract optical parameters of coastal sea water by fitting the hyperspectral reflectance spectra acquired from the Hyperion instrument on-board the EO-1 satellite to a coupled sea water reflectance and atmospheric transmission model. This method is able to retrieve the absorption and scattering coefficients of the various components of coastal sea water.
