About

Water surface reflectance is a fundamental radiometric quantity in remote sensing of aquatic environments, representing the proportion of incident solar radiation reflected or backscattered from the water surface and the immediate subsurface layer towards a sensor. This spectral measurement is critical for atmospheric correction and isolating the optical signature of the water body, providing essential data for monitoring water quality, bathymetry, and surface phenomena.
