We use remote-sensing reflectance from particulate
Rrs to determine the volume absorption
coefficient a of turbid water in the 400 < λ <
700-nm spectral region. The calculated and measured values of
a(λ) show good agreement for 0.5 < a
< 10 (m-1). To determine
Rrs from a particulate, we needed to make
corrections for remote-sensing reflectance owing to surface roughness
Srs. We determined the average spectral
distribution of Srs from the difference in total
remote-sensing reflectance measured with and without
polarization. The spectral shape of Srs
showed an excellent fit to theoretical formulas for glare based on
Rayleigh and aerosol scattering from the atmosphere.
