Abstract

Space Coast Florida waters consist of shallow coastal turbid water along the southeastern United States and Florida’s east coast estuaries and tidal lagoon systems. The waters have become dominated by a bottom boundary sediment layer characterized by moving fluid mud near the bottom. Surface winds and their resulting water surface gravity waves result in the resuspension of the mud bottom boundary layer sediments and result in water columns with very low light visibility. The decreased light penetration as a function of depth and wavelength influences marine life that require light to function. The complex physical phenomena and associated underwater light fields can best be understand using Monte-Carlo models. Model results can be tuned to be applicable to specific satellites and channels for development of algorithms which make use of reflectance signatures measured by satellites as well as in-situ sensors. Recent model developments and model simulations are described with reference to WorldVeiw-3 satellite imagery and shape factors.
