Both algorithms were semi-empirical because they incorporated some elements of optical processes in the atmosphere, water, and air\/water interface. One incorporated a very simple atmospheric correction and modified quasi-single-scattering approximation (QSSA) for estimating the spectral Gordon\u2019s parameter, and the second estimated WQCs directly from the top of atmosphere satellite radiance without atmospheric corrections. A modified version of the Global Meteorological Database for Solar Energy and Applied Meteorology (METEONORM) was used to estimate directional atmospheric transmittances. The study incorporated in situ Chl data from the Ferry-Based Monitoring (FerryMon) program collected in the Neuse River Estuary (n = 633) and Pamlico Sound (n = 362), along with Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) satellite imagery collected (2006\u20132009) across the APES; providing quasi-coinciding samples for Chl algorithm development and validation. Results indicated a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.70 and mean-normalized root-mean-squares errors (NRMSE) of 52% in the Neuse River Estuary and R2 = 0.44 (NRMSE = 75 %) in the Pamlico Sound\u2014without atmospheric corrections. The simple atmospheric correction tested provided on performance improvements. Algorithm performance demonstrated the potential for supporting long-term operational WQCs satellite monitoring in the APES.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs3040684","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,4]],"date-time":"2011-04-04T10:07:21Z","timestamp":1301911641000},"page":"684-707","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["MERIS Retrieval of Water Quality Components in the Turbid Albemarle-Pamlico Sound Estuary, USA"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6892-1039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leonid G.","family":"Sokoletsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Exposure Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency, National Research Council, 109 TW Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ross S.","family":"Lunetta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Exposure Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency, 109 TW Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael S.","family":"Wetz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Exposure Research Laboratory, US Environmental Protection Agency, National Research Council, 109 TW Alexander Dr., Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4725-1870","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hans W.","family":"Paerl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Marine Sciences, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Morehead City, NC 28557, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.1029\/2008EO230001","article-title":"Three years of ocean data from a bio-optical profiling float","volume":"89","author":"Boss","year":"2008","journal-title":"Eos Trans.
