Radiative transfer model for remote sensing of suspended sediments in waterA Monte Carlo simulation model of radiative transfer in turbid water is discussed. The model can be used to calculate characteristics of the backscattered signal from an illuminated body of water as a function of the turbidity level and spectral properties of the suspended particulates. The dependence of remote sensing applications on the concentration and spectral properties of sediments in the environmental waters is considered in terms of the model. Attention is directed to the effects of various inputs for the volume-scattering function on backscattered radiance from natural waters. The wavelength dependence of single scattering albedo is investigated.
