Inaccurate determination of these parameters is one of the causes of errors in the retrieval of the remote sensing reflectance spectra. In this work, the obtained large array of field and satellite data for the northeastern part of the Black Sea is used, including ship-based measurements of atmospheric characteristics and sea reflectance, MODIS Aqua\/Terra and OLCI Sentinel-3 A\/B Level 2 remote sensing reflectance and atmospheric data. The purpose of this study is to show the numerical differences between the atmospheric parameters measured from the surface level and from the satellite and demonstrate their relationship with the differences between in situ and satellite remote sensing reflectance. Based on the information received, we propose an algorithm for the additional correction of satellite Level 2 data that uses a two-parametric model of the Black Sea remote sensing reflectance as a first approximation. This method does not require any in situ information. It is shown that additional correction significantly reduces the discrepancy between in situ and retrieved remote sensing reflectance, especially in short-wave spectral bands.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14040831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,11]],"date-time":"2022-02-11T02:40:17Z","timestamp":1644547217000},"page":"831","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Algorithm of Additional Correction of Level 2 Remote Sensing Reflectance Data Using Modelling of the Optical Properties of the Black Sea Waters"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0526-4083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena N.","family":"Korchemkina","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Optics Department, Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 Kapitanskaya St., 299011 Sevastopol, Russia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4007-6977","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daria V.","family":"Kalinskaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Optics Department, Marine Hydrophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2 Kapitanskaya St., 299011 Sevastopol, Russia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"50","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jmarsys.2014.11.015","article-title":"Estimating oceanic primary productivity from ocean color remote sensing: A strategic assessment","volume":"149","author":"Lee","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
