The Relation Between Spectral Radiometric Characteristic of Water Surface and Water Quality

—Estimation of Reflectance Factor of Water Surface Using Kubelka-Munk's Two Constant Theory—

Abstract

For understanding of changes of spectral radiometric characteristic caused by the changes of water quality, the author composed an analytical method introducing the model of the Kubelka-Munk's two constant theory.
The author can get the value of scattering and absoption coefficient of turbid medium with this method. As a result, using the statistical relation between the estimated optical coefficients and the water quality, the spectral radiometric characteristic can be calculated by the Kubelka-Munk's two constant theory. Because of that's optical effectiveness, chlorophyll and turbidity were selected for objective water quality of this study.
