摘　　要：In a typical Case-2 coastal water environment(here,the Pearl River Estuary(PRE),China),chromophoric dissolved organic matter(CDOM)and suspended particulates dominate the water optical properties,and CDOM fluorescence contributes considerably to surface water reflectance.In this paper,an ultraviolet(UV)to visible scheme to retrieve CDOM absorption(ag)is developed based on a set of in situ observations.First,the CDOM UV absorption and spectral slope(Sg)are derived directly from the visible remote sensing reflectance;then the Sg is extrapolated to obtain the spectrum from UV to visible spectral range.This algorithm performs well,with an overall mean absolute percent difference(MAPD)of^30%,~5%and^6%for the estimation of ag in 250–450 nm,Sg over 250–400 nm,and 250–700 nm,respectively.The effectiveness and stability of the algorithm is further demonstrated in capturing the distribution pattern of CDOM absorption in the PRE from satellite ocean color imagery with multiple spatial and spectral resolution,namely:the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite(VIIRS)(750 m/Multispectral),the Ocean and Land Color Instrument(OLCI)(300 m/Multispectral),the Hyperspectral Imager for the Coastal Ocean(HICO)(100 m/Hyperspectral),and the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager(OLI)(30 m/Multispectral).The UV to visible scheme can benefit the CDOM absorption estimation in two aspects:1)it is free from the disturbance of suspended matter;2)it avoids uncertainties caused by the low signalto-noise ratio(SNR)of ag measurements in the visible range.The algorithm is effective in revealing multiple scales of variation of CDOM absorption from ocean color observations.
