title: Blue Color Indices as a Reference for Remote Sensing of Black Sea Water
abstract: In this paper, we propose to analyze the values of the “blue” color index for further use in additional atmospheric correction of Level 2 remote sensing reflectance data for the waters of the Black Sea. Regardless of seasonal phenomena, atmospheric conditions, and the type of water, the average color index in the short-wave region, according to in situ measurements CI(412/443), varies from 0.77 to 0.83. The most frequently observed value is 0.8. In turn, the values of the “blue” color index CI(4
